Got a new tire but will it screw up my rotaional variance?

Im running 235 35 19 all around..Hit a pot hole and bam there goes a tire. Discount tires replaced the tire under the insurance that I purchased, so now im stuck with (3) 20% tire tread and (1) 100% tread.
Will this ruin the diff? Just cant afford getting 3 new tires at the moment.

I know subies have to replace all 4 tires.....

It might. If your traction control warning goes off then you know for sure. Check the manual as well as I think they have information on this. I'm guessing with only 20% tread you should replace all 4.
