    I'm not 100% for your RR but usually on 4x4 or AWD it's suggested to replace all four at the same time.

    Being from Downunder I am not sure of the sizing and numbering however I agree totally with Forfend.
    If you cant replace all four then at least punt the one good one to the spare and buy two new for the same axle.

    Should get you out of trouble.

    Love the Rangie!!!

    Never mix match tread. Like Rez said. Boot the best one to a spare and put two matching.

    Thank you guys. Rez glad u liked the rover.

    I think i'll just put two new matching tires. what happen is I bought all four new not so long ago, but one of them blowed up and couldn't find the exact one to match the rest.
