I know that you are not supposed to mix tires on AWD cars, but i have a minor dilema.  When i was out of town my neighbors house burnt to the ground, taking the front drivers side tire with it.  i have another tire mounted on a rim of the same size and approximate tread wear but different pattern.  In the short term would this be drivable or should i wait till the new tire comes in?  
Also, though the tire was damaged it was minor bubbleing and a melted valve stem that did it in.  What are the chances that any of the rubber bits behind the rim were damaged too?  Brake lines, ball joints e.t.c.

Thank you in advance
