Replace both especially if tire size is more than 1/4" due to wear on other tire
OR at least have the tire that was overloaded broken down and inspected inside for signs of damage.
Other option is to drive on and wonder when will that tire give out from the damage done from being overloaded
Or do you not think it was overloaded?
