If the same make tire and correctly sized tire is used in the first place, there will be no problems.
Of course if both pairs of front/rear tires show questionable wear, then they should be replaced altogether.

Yes, many AWD problems can be traced to uneven tires and wheels.
I see you are a new member. Welcome to Club Lexus. You will find this to be a great website for auto chat.....one of the best, IMO.

Carlsson.....make sure that when you DO get your new rubber that the guys in the shop, when they re-mount the wheels, torque all the lug nuts evenly and no more than the factory figures....which can vary anywhere from 65 to 85 ft.-lbs. A hand-held torque wrench is usually the best way to do this. The correct torque figure can usually be found in the Owners' or Shop Manual.
Overtorquing or uneven torquing is a classic setup for rotor warping.
