Default blew up one of my 235/35/19 tires today. what ideally should i replace?

it was the passenger rear tire. should i buy two new tires, and place them up front and move the current front tires to the rear?

im currently running my 225/45/17 stock tire and rim as a spare. how long can i do on this setup before i cause any un-necessary damage!?

Default Depends on how much tread is left. Lots of tread, buy one more. Not much tread, buy two. If buy..

two, put new ones in front.

Not a good idea running your stock 17" with the 19's, asking for trouble. IMO
