need to replace blown re01r

I have 4 pretty much brand new Bridgestone re01r tires on my car but one just blew out on me so I have 3 new tires and I dont know what to do since they have discountinued the re01r tires. Any suggestions? Should I just find a new tire that matches the re01r closest in the thread? Does anyone know what tire I could put on now?

Need to take one good tire off to get circumference (/ diameter). And compare to replacement. I'd call around to the inline tire vendors. Someone might have 1 left.

I do not like the idea of running 3 of one type and 1 of another. Slightly different sizes (due to design and molds used). And different compounds.

Other thought would be to purchase a set of tires you want, and then sell the 3 RE-01Rs on craigslist, forums, ebay or the like. You may lose some $$ obviously, but would be best for the car, and you can still recoup a fair amount of price if they are nearly new RE-01Rs.
