Yes and No. He is trying to sell tires, but he's probably right, if the tread is different it will track different. At our shop we try to sell sets, especially on sportbikes.

However, if the tread is really similar and the bike isn't being ridden to it's limits, you probably won't notice. Especially if the tread wear is close to minimal on the front.
