[s-cars] tire recommendation needed

While we're talking tires, I need some direction too.

I have Toyo Proxes FZ4's on my car and I just damaged one in a pothole.  Of
course the pothole cruise was the only 30 miles I have put on the car since
December.  Of course the FZ4 is discontinued.  I had planned to buy two
rather than one or four because the remaining three tires have about 80%
tread left - too much wear to just put on one tire, but not enough to do all
four.  Long term, I had planned to run these until I hit the lotto, then
take the second set of stock wheels I have to be refinished and shod with
something new.  The current set  - poor man's refinish but looking ok even
without the polished lip - would become the track set.

What is the recommendation?  Four of something else?  Hunt around and buy
two  - anyone have a source?  Buy two of something else (not crazy about
this idea)?

As an aside, there is a guy on ebay selling loads of new Toyos for
cheap...but no more FZ4's.   If anyone else is looking, check there too.

TIA,

Tom
