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.

Sometimes it matters. Had mismatched tires, both were Michelin MXV4, both were the same size, but the tread pattern was different. It pulled to the side.

It does matter,if you have the same ones in the back put those in the front and put the mismatch ones in the back.
