Tyre wear on a Jaguar XK - is this possible?

I have a Jaguar XK. Winter tyres have just been fitted - one of the summer rear tyres is below the Iegal limit, but the other is still legal but has some wear. Can I re-fit with a new rear tyre with the existing one or do I have to replace both?

I wouldn't with a car of this power and torque because the imbalance could easily confuse the ESC and send you off the road.
