Mixing Tire Brands For Spare

[BigSkies]

After a winter blowout that couldn't be repaired, I replaced one of my 21" pirelli tires with a brand new one. This is my current spare, and it has never been driven on.

I just replaced the rest of my worn 21" pirelli's with the Michelin Defenders.

I plan to do a 4 tire rotation and just keep the Pirelli as a spare.

Would there be any traction control or similar issues if I ever need to drive on the spare?

No issues at all when I used my pirelli spare for 1k miles until I got my defender replacement tire.

The R1S has a different brand and size so you would be less impacted than that.
