Put the new tire on the right front which seems to wear slightly faster than the others (on my car anyway). Adjust tire pressures (with warm tires) so the radius of the four tires are the same.
In the final analysis, and putting aside handling issues, the mechanical bits only care about equal rolling radius.

I agree with Lee.
In a perfect world where price is not an object, a new set of matched tires would be best.
But, with 80% left on the other three, buy only one, put the best one on the right front, the second best on the left front, and the other two in back.
It is a directional tire, so make sure the "tire experts" don't 'Accidentially" put the tire, or wheel on backwards.
We have that exact set of tires on Nicks', and Dianas' cars, right now, and I had that set on mine, before my 17s.
I/we have been very happy with the traction/wear/price and when its time for Daves' svx tires to be replaced,(He's next) it will be a set of Hankooks,245/45/16s. Tom
