"Need" would not be the word I'd use to describe it.
While it would be preferable to have all tires run the
same mileage, that's easier said than done. Only
good record-keeping, maintenance discipline, together
with luck, will result in even wear on your tires.
In your situation, I'd be inclined to buy a replacement
"Big O" until you wear all of them down to the point new
tires are necessary.
Of course, if you want to go out and spend for performance,
or for long wear (see link below), or for comfort, you can do
that. Tires come in a host of preferences matching your driving
priorities and your priorities, based on actual use of the car,
should be your first consideration.
I was in your situation with two, almost new, winter warranty
replacement tires (tread separation) and two worn ones. I was
about to buy two new ones to match the newer warranty tires but
the salesman advised me to try 4 new Kumhos and for only about $50
more, I bought 4 Kumhos and sold the 2 warranty, almost new, Artic
Alpins.
I had had good experience with Kumho summer tires so I had
reasonably positive expectations.
