I'd be a bit concerned. I like to have 4 matched tires, but where money
takes precedence, then symmetry is OK. If possible maybe you should have
the third old tire as a spare and have one more new tire put on. Maybe
the shop will go halvers on it or something (I doubt it- but maybe it's
worth the extra investment? $60?)
Then you have 4 good tires and 1 good spare.
just a thought...
