Nope, 2003 improved the situation with the use of the Haldex in place of the viscous coupling, and 2005 improved it further, but it's still good practice to keep all the tyres at the same wear level if at all possible. And it's essential they're all the same make and type as one makers 215 can be a much different size to another's.
If nothing else these things are heavy, do you really want one end of the car to have more grip than the other...
