Default If im running a spare tire on one of the fronts with no tread wear and 3 other tires

that are completely shot, will it hurt quattro? I inflated the spare to be just slightly less inflated than the other 3 (28psi to 32psi) since it is technically larger because it has more tread depth, but then again its a different tire, but the same size (Bridgestone vs Kumo(sp))
(I would try and fix the one that went flat, but its beyond repair, the others have a hair of meat left)
Its going to need to be good for about 250 miles to get me through the rest of the week, is this dangerous? or am i just being overprotective of my daisy?

thanks again for answering my stupid questions, one day I'll come through with some answers...

Default Yes. I believe the manual states that you should keep the tire pressure even...

to avoid causing uneven wear on the quattro system.
