Limited slip/different size tires

The other day the women blew out a rear tire. So she put the spare on got home, asked me what to do. After we discuessed it, I have complained about these stock BFGs eversince we got the pickup, there traction on wet roads and slick roads suck. We dicieded to just mount the spare on the good wheel and find another one for the spare for a little while until I get some new tires bought. My question is there is quite a bit of difference in tread depth. Is that enough to reak havoc on the limited slip or not.
Thanks
Heath

No problems. This should not be an issuae at all. But you will have different traction so I would put this tire on the right rear. The right seems to wear alittle faster than the left.

But to be on the safe side why not replace them all? It is much safer to have 4 good tires than a mixed batch. I realize we are talking some cash, but you have to "pay to play", and new tires are VERY cheap insurance. I'm heading to the tire store next week. They are very willing to make deals this time of year.
