A large % of cars are all-wheel drive and you can't have one or two tires out of tread-ware spec. It's unlikely that you are going to replace just one due to tread-wear. Whether it's side-to-side treadwear or back/front. If you do replace one, it's because you shave down a new one, if your shop will do that, but even still, you are paying the run-flat premium on that one tire. Unless you are installing your tires yourself, most shops won't let you install something against manufacturer recommendations.
