Default Replace all tyres?

Pretty new to the scooby world.. 05 blob widetrack.. Only need one tyre.. Is it correct that all 4 should be replaced at once?..

Thanks all..

I'd put the back on the front and new ones on the rears then swap vice a verse when service time as long as your wheels are straight and balanced you won't have any issues swapping back to front

Don't buy budget tyres buy once buy right

Cheers mate.. So the difference in tread depth between the 4-5mm for the front and the new ones on the rear shouldn't cause any issues or anything?.. Little bit paranoid at moment as I spoke to this dude from scooby clinic.. His advice was replace all 4.. Dude was chattin on about possible problems like with gearbox and diff and loadsa stuff that went over my head tbh 😂..
