It`s fine to use different tire brands as long as the treat pattern is almost the same as the ones you already have, and that you do it in pairs. I`ve done it many times, Continetal Extreme Contact DW with Michelin pilot super sport, etc. Like others mentioned the tires that you have are not that good, I remember that I had them in a Mustang many years ago and I could burn rubber in 3rd gear, that`s how bad they were. If you are on a budget just get yourself some Firestone Firestone Firehawk Indy 500, they are very good tires for the money.
