Default Need new tire what should I do?

So someone thought it would be fun to put a couple holes in the sidewall of my back tire. Now I need to buy a new tire. Should I replace both back ones at the same time or find an OEM tire someplace? I have a Quad Cab 4x4 with 12k on the tires right now. I have the P265/70R16 tires.

Where shoud I get it or them? Tirerack? 1010tire.com or discouttire?

Thanks

Shane

I'd find the OEM tire to make it match.

I would find a cheap tire for the spare and put the matching tire on the rim if you cannot find the OEM tire, otherwise buy a OEM for it...

Buy one new tire to match your spare(which is also new) and then keep the used one for a spare.
