There are no specific statements in the law demanding identical brand/model tyres!!! Even summer and winter tyres may also be used at the same time, which means that the spare can be a winter tyre and effective all year round.

The tyres just have to be a size certified for the car (or combination of sizes if mixed sizes back and front are allowed).

I'm not sure how strict they are with foreign cars, I expect not too much as long as all seems in order (car looks safe) and you don't misbehave to badly.

Nürburgring: Obviously, read the info on their website, especially:

Have your MOT, insurance and driving licence papers with you. If your car is more or less standard looking, and in decent condition, you should be fine. Dramatic customisations attract attention and then you have to prove that the changes are technically acceptable.
