Buy the best complete set of four that you can afford. I prefer Michelins although they are overpriced; I have just had good luck with them and don't care to change (although one more price hike may do it). Search the board and you will see comments on other brands. "Almost dead" tends to be contagious, and 20% is almost dead in my book. Save money on tires by riding them too long and you will most likely pay for it in bodywork - yours or your car's.
I would avoid mixing brand new with almost worn out tires for both safety and handling/ride quality issues. Older tires harden with age as the rubber continues to cure with each heat up/ cool down cycle of use. Get new tires all around and it rides better and quieter, handles better in dry, rain or snow. Dunlops, Continentals, Pirellis.....Goodyears.....Coopers.....just get them matched up. Log onto tire rack and price them out.
