Default two diff brand tires in the front

Is it ok to have two different brand name tires in the front? in terms of safety

because one of my tires popped and i might need a new one and possibly can't find the same ones i have on my car.


also the ones on my car are directional, what if i get a diff tire that is not directional, will this be ok?

for temporary use is some what safe But I wouldn't risk my own safety or my family to use two different tires with two different tread pattern that don't work in unison. Get that fix ASAP.

When you buy the new tire have it and the good front moved to the back and have the back pair (which I assume match) moved to the front. Do not ride around on unmatched tires for a long time (but for temporary use you can). I strongly urge you to buy 2 new front tires the life you save may be your own.
