ok, so yesterday night i was driving on the freeway and my pass. rear tire went flat. I used the tire inflator in a can stuff, but it didnt work. I took out rim and there was a huge gash in the inner side wall.

I need a new tire, but i they dont sell the same tire i have on it now, all the other tires still have 85%tread left and are ZR rated. Would it make a difference if i just changed the one tire with another brand and lower speed rating? Or should i change both rear? Only asking becuz i'm kinda short on cash, and need to get the car going again, right now its on a doughnut.
 
i'm not a big car guy, so can't say for sure...but i think it would be best to swap out both rear. if you must only do the one tire...keep the speed down.
