Can You Use Different Tyre Brands on the Front and Rear?

Yes, in most places, including Spain, you can use different tyre brands on the front and rear axles, as long as the tyres on each axle are identical .

Important Rules:

Tyres on the same axle must be the same (same brand, model, size, load, and speed rating)

Different brands between front and rear axles are allowed

Tyres must meet legal tread depth requirements (minimum 1.6 mm)

Best Practice: While mixing brands is legal, it’s not recommended because different tyres may have varying grip, handling, and wear rates, which can affect stability and performance, especially in wet conditions .
