Blew out a tire - HELP

Blew out a tire - HELP
I have a 2006 Scion tC with the original stock Yokohama S32A's. Size 215/45ZR17. They have about 25k miles on them.
One of my tires blew out on the highway and I'm wondering what I should do.
Should I get a brand new Yokohama for around $250?
Should I but a used/retreaded tire?
Do I need to get the exact same tire or will any tire of the same size be okay?
Would it be worth it to just get a brand new set of 4 tires?
Got a spare on it right now so I have to get this figured out quick! Thanks in advance for your replies.

The stock ones are way overpriced. Get a whole new set. Stock tires are horrible. You can get a whole new set for around $400 depending what you get and if you can catch a good sale.
Go new. It's safer than used or retreaded.

check out sears they will price match anyone... i know that they have some falkens at buy3 get1... it also depends on how much tread you have left on the other tires.. if they are at 5/32 and up but a cheap tire with the same speed rating.. if they are pretty low you might as well buy a new set

Thanks for all your help, guys!
I decided to bite the bullet and get a full set of new tires.
I'm getting General Altimax HP's at $399.52 (including shipping) from tirerack. Installation is going to be under $100, so I think for a bit under $500, it's a pretty good deal.
I did a bunch of research today and yesterday and finally decided on the General's. They seemed like the best deal for me.

Nice, i have them and so far I really like them. They do quiet well in the rain, my car hasn't had any feeling of hydroplaning like the crappy stock tires did. They also did pretty well in the snow that my area got last week.
