I have seen some cars use different brand tires. Like 2 goodyears on front and 2 firestone on rear. I don't think it will hurt you as long they are same size.

he means 1 tire on the left and another brand on the right, not front and back. either case, it will be fine.

Some people use many different kind brand tires either for front, rear, or many different type.

My mom got left front flat. She use cheap brand tire than 3 other brand. It is fine. I don't see what reason other brand tire should hurt. I rather keep 4 same brand for match. If different tire and thread. It look like retard but that's just me.
