so long as its the same tire size and the other rear tire is fairly new, it wont hurt. if one tire is really worn out and the other is brand new, the worn out side will be spinning faster and might damage the lsd. if he can get you a new tire for $71, i would say get the pair. ALWAYS either buy 2 at a time or 4 at a time.
