I would make sure the ones on the back are same size.

If different sizes they will overwork the ring and pinion. I had a friend who fried his diff that way. It got hot and lost its lubricity and smoked the bearings. l I guess if you have awd you might want to just buy the one new tire so they all match.

And use the oddball as a spare?
