Mix tyre brands

Hi All,

Found a nail in the rear left tyre of my M Sport this weekend, I am running 245/40R17 91W Dunlops on the back, (front is 225/45). Apparently this tyre now needs to be replaced, however no garages approved by the company car contract have this tyre available right now, and even Dunlop is out of stock.

I am finding it hard to swallow, but I have to replace both rear tyres, to maintain a common type on the same axle. Any thoughts on this, and the mix of brands front and back?

Any recommendations on which brand to take? Bridgestone, Goodyear...

cheers
