Another tread pattern question.... what would you do?

Hey I just bought a used set of Racing Hart C4's. The person who owned the rims before me ran 285/35/19 Toyo T1r's in the rear and bridgestone potenza so3 245/35/19 In the front. One of the potenza's had a hole in the side wall and couldn't be repaired so now i have 4 rims and 3 tires. My question now is what do i do? Do I buy a used so3 off eBay? Do i buy 2 new T1r's for the front? In the event i bought a so3 would the difference between tread of the rear tires and the front tires compromise the handling? I know first hand that different tread patterns are bad (currently on the car: summer tires on the front all seasons in the rear..... not good) I'm wondering if this would be like that because they are both summer tires? Also all 3 tires on the rims are at about 50% tread wear.
Thanx in advance

honestly,i was leaning toward 2 new t1r's (these rims are strictly summer rims this is why i considered it)... No one else has an opinion? Where could i get the best price? anyone have an opinion about the T1r's? I like to drive aggressively, anyone have a favorite dry tire?
