Default Spare tire a diffeent brand of tire but same size?

Has anybody or is anybody carrying a spare tire that is the same size as your other 4 tires but maybe a different brand?

I just got 4 new 35" Nitto Mud Grapplers (new) and I have an opportunity to buy a 35" Nitto Trail Grappler (not new) to run as a spare.

I know they look and ride slightly different but I would only use for emergencies if needed.

Just curious to see if it has been done.

And yes I know I mispelled different I was typing to fast and skipped the 'r' I don't know how to edit and fix. A little moderator help would be appreciated.

He should be fine in 4WD too, there shouldn't be that big of a difference between the two tires.
