    I'd say with only 40% tread left then you wouldn't want 1 or even 2 new tires. There is going to be a large difference in outer diameter. Unless you can buy 2 new tires that are the same diameter as 2 of the worn tires you have now. That might work.

    I'm not a big fan of buying used tires but in this case, it may be your best bet (if you're not ready to buy 4 new tires). You should be able to find one locally that is the same size/brand/wear as what you already have on your rig.
