Must I replace all four of my Subaru Forester's tyres at once?

I have a 2005 Subaru Forester 25 XTEn auto with SVDC. Do I need to change all four tyres at once to prevent damage to the transmission/4-wheel drive? I can see nothing in the hand book, but this does seem to relate to the pre-facelift model that had no SVDC. The car does have one new tyre fitted already and I am worried I may be doing harm.

I think you do, but still check with your Subaru dealer.
