This is half true.

No matter what you want to keep the exact same size tire on all 4 wheels.
Having some with 50% tred left and 1 with 100% tred, I really dont think will matter at all.
If you can get 2 new tires, it would probably be better, but not neccesary.
Reason you must have all of the same tires/wheels, is because if not, it would strain the VC in the trans, and eventually wear down. This = Not good.
