Default Tyres - 1 worn - replace as a pair??

SO I had a bearing / hub issue recently on my classic (year 2000), it has meant 1 front tyre has badly worn the inner tread.

The other tyre has plenty of meat left on it, covered approx 5k miles.

Do I need to replace both fronts as a pair, or can I replace the duff one?

They are Falken ZE914 215/40R18

Any advice appreciated!

Thankyou

Replace as a pair, yes. If not, expect the bearing on the other side to go next.
