Wondering if anyone has any opinions on this.

Here's the problem: About a month ago some chick backed in to my car, banged up the drivers front/rear door, door jamb area of rear door, and back rim. I got a call from the bodyshop today telling me that insurance has decided since my tire was involved in the accident they want to replace it; but just the one tire.

I've never heard of anybody replacing just one tire, especially if all the other ones are at 5/32 tread. The weather here is pretty crazy and we get lots of snow/ice in the winter. Is replacing one tire even safe to do? Has anybody had any experience with a situation like this getting insurance to kick in to at least do a pair? I'm really on the fence about just buying the other tires and replacing all 4, but I'm not at fault in this accident and her insurance is paying for all of it. The other thing that annoys me too is that they want me to pay $61 of the new tire, has anyone ever heard of insurance doing that?

Edit: Before anyone asks, she wasn't hot, she wasn't bad either, but she was too old for me.
