Got a flat. Do I need to replace my other three tires?

[CO4x499]

2008 SR5 4WD. The tires are about 2 years old and have decent tread left. I got a flat and am not wanting to replace all 4 tires, especially since the other 3 have life left and I don't have $800 laying around. Additionally Cooper doesn't make the AT3 anymore. How bad for my car, diff, 4WD, etc, will it be to run a new tire with the other three used ones?

Assuming they can't fix the tire. Same size cooper with similar thead and youll be good. You can also put the tire in the front then rotate every 5k as usual.

If needed I usually change 2 at a time, new ones on the back. Tires usually run the tread off the front faster.

Same as above. Replace 2 and put new ones on the back.

I just patch them of i can and put it in the back if its in the front. Never had a patch fail in the many many times ive patched a tire. Unless its blown then replace both or if the other one is still in good shape find a used one in similar shape and put them in the back.
