Quick question about different brand tire other than rest

So Body shop called me and they said they cant replace the stock tire that was on the car. Said they found something close to it. Would having a different brand tire on one wheel cause any issues with the AWD system?

Thanks!

I believe that with our awd system, you want all 4 tires with the same thread ware.
Anything different will throw the awd system off.

Make sure they all have the same run out (i.e. same rolling distance per revolution).

Otherwise, you're gonna end up with the ACD having two speeds between the front and rear.
