Tyres don't need to be matching pairs in terms of make/model, there is no legal or MOT requirement for this, it's just recommended for best practice. This is because you could experience handling issues if for example the tyre on one side of the axle is a top quality gripping tyre whilst the other side has a cheap Chinese ditch finder.
You can have a different make of tyre in each corner if you wanted.
You can even fit 1 winter tyre and 3 summer tyres or vice versa and it won't fail an MOT for that.
The requirements are that:
- the wheels/tyres on each axle should be matching in size (i.e. you can't have a 225 on one side and a 205 on the other, or 17 inch wheel on one side and 18 inch wheel on the other.
- if one pair of wheels/tyres are wider then they must be on the rear axle.
- and of course the tyres must be of acceptable condition and tread level.
