Buy 4 tires now ($400) or buy a new transmission soon ($800)+new tires ($400) = ($1200).....save yourself some money, go ahead and get the tires now.....
If the other 3 are good, they should give you a decent trade in...or you can sell them to re-coupe some money...

AT the very least if you won't buy a new set, take a flat tape, and measure the rolling circumference of the old tires, and the new tire...if they are more than 1/4" difference you will toast your tranny.... and it doesn't take much to make a 1/4" in circumference...
