yes, should be no problem as long as it's the same size.

Size and brand are nice, but you want the same tread pattern. Michelin makes a bunch of tires, they are not all the same.

Also make sure the date of manufacture is within 6 years or less.

Identical tread pattern doesn’t matter at all. Size only matters on each axle, both should be the same if 4wd. On a 2wd the size can be different front to back.

For driving, yes. For impressing the ladies, no.
