I need to get 2 tyres for my daily and always go for branded ones (even though its a banger as I feel a bit wary of budget ones)

So the front tyres are Brigstone and I was shopping around for the rear ones and found Half---s does Bridgestone at £105 and Firestone cross climate was around £ 85 (iirc) and when you buy 2 tyres you get 10% off

My question is it ok to mix tyre brands as when i looked at the thread pattern the Bridgestone one was different to the Firestone tyre thread

Wonder if there can be any issues re the above?

Firestone don't make the CrossClimate - that's Michelin. If you meant to say a Firestone All-Seasons tyre, then the advice would be not to mix all-seasons with 'ordinary' tyres.

Do not mix type of tyre.

If you want all season, fit all season all round. If you want winter, fit 4, and so on.
