Got a flat tire. Is it ok to replace tire w/ another of the same size yet different manufacturer?

Question by Tires: Got a flat tire. Is it ok to replace tire w/ another of the same size yet different manufacturer?
I recently got a flat tire that couldnt be patched up. So i needed to buy a new tire. I couldnt find the exact manufacturer of the tire except at the dealership and they charged way too much. Is it ok to get another tire with the same exact size and specs except made by a different manufacturer? My old tire was a Bridgestone Potenza and the new one I’m going to get is a Toyo. Does it matter that the treads are not the same?

It doesn’t matter if you are going to be driving under highway speed. I’d recommend buying two and placing them on the two tires that have the driving power (front if front wheel drive). Take the best two of the three and put them on the other wheels. Your car tires will be at different heights because of wear no matter what and will whittle down your new tire quickly and cause other problems.

no probs, it’s not like you intend racing a m5 or something.most tyers these days have got to be euro spec at least,toyo are a fair running tyre.put it on and get on motoring.

It will only be a minimal matter about your tread difference, and that noticed probably only to those with racing backgrounds who can sense the difference in the handling of that tire versus the other tires on your vehicle. In certain cases, like AWD vehicles, if you have too much of a tread difference or overall height difference in the tires, it can set off a sensor warning… in rare cases, it can damage transfer cases and differentials. If in doubt, at least get the tire on the other side replaced as well, to help balance the four points evenly. Good luck.

That depends on the application. If the vehicle is All-Wheel Drive like a Subaru then no, you have to replace all four tires

depends on your state laws most of the time u can but its better to change 2 so the car wont pull to one side due to less tread on older tyre

if it is one of the drive wheels maybe but other than that it shouldn’t
