Default Traction with 1 new tire and 1 worn tire??

Well i orderd some ET Streets from a guy on here and one of them was lost in transit. So now i filed a claim and im supposed to be getting reimbersed for the price of a tire new.

The 1 tire i have doesnt look to be worn very much i would say maybe a few passes on the tire.

Am i going to have problems with using a new and old tire at the track?
If so im going to have to spend more money and buy a 2 new tires.

I dont ever run one used and one new. You need a matched pair.

I would never run a new and used tire, it can cause some launch problems for you if they hook up different because of wear.
