In theory you should be fine. there is a little play as long as you get another of the same tire, you can compare the tread depth as long as it is within .5-1/32nd then you should be fine. through normal driving. ie turning / quick starts stops.. maybe... burnouts;) it should even out over time. key thing is same tire and it's close within the tread depth

Honestly what I would do is get 2 maybe go thru tirerack.com put the 2 good ones one either the front or rear axle and move the old one to your spare. Though honestly 10K miles isn't that much for REVO's so you can probably just go with one. I could understand if the tread was below 1/2 of what it was..
 






i would like to get two but these tires a $150 a pop $135 on tire rack but after shipping its still $150 i would like to spend atleast as possible
 






Do things right, and get two
 






i checked the tread depth there was only 1/32 diff between the new tire and the other three on the car i have had the new tire on the truck for 4 days with out any trouble
