Can Tire Load Ranges be Mixed Between Spare and Rest of Trailer

Question:

I had a blowout on my camper in a remote area in Texas. I found a shop with my size tires but a different load range. Mine takes a C and all he had were Ds. I took it because I thought it was better than no spare at all. Is it safe to mix tires of different load ranges?

It's not ideal to mix Load Ranges since they will require different air pressure in the tire. In an emergency situation though you'd be fine to get home. In a perfect world the spare would have the same Load Range as the rest of the trailer.
