No issue.
As a general rule, it's best to use four matching tires, to keep the handling neutral and predictable. When that's not possible - such as when the tires have been discontinued, as in this case - then just make sure your four tires are as close in performance characteristics as possible. (For example, don't mix a sticky tire like the Azenis with all-season tires.)
Since you have to replace one tire now and the other three at some point in the future, your best bet is to get whatever tire you would like to be using on your car when you have replaced all four of them. Note that there are some better, stickier tires out there than the Azenis RT-615 if you're using 205/50-15 or 215/45-16, but the Azenis still reigns in 195/60-14 and 205/40-16. I would get whichever tire you are targetting for your car when you ultimately have all four of the tires replaced.
