Legally you can do it okay. No problems there.
How hard do you drive? If you're a fairly sedate driver then you'd be okay to mix the tyres a little but if you like to press on a bit why not buy two matching PS3s and sell the Exalto on ebay? You'd probably get half the cost of the new tyre and not have any worries about mis-matched tyres.
As the old saying goes, there are only four small patches of rubber holding you on the road; so how much value do you put on that?
