Why do you want to do this? You must have doubts if you're asking, and you want someone to say it's OK?

I honestly don't recommend mixing tires, there might be potential damage to the drivetrain as well.

MB with 4MATIC people don't even use the same brand and model tires that have huge variations in tread depth as well to prevent stress to the components, how much stress does it actually cause, not sure. That said, many people still do that and so far haven't reported any issue. Mixing brand and model of tires however, rarely if anyone does it on an mb.
