Damaged Star Spec

Damaged Star Spec
Yesterday I ran over some metal, like part of of a spring and two pieces of it went into a rear tire. I'm pretty sure it's not repairable. I'm running stock wheels(AP2) 225/45 fronts and 255/40 rears. The set has about 9000 miles and the rears are close to the bars, the fronts are about at 1/2 wear. My reaction is to replace the rears with new Star Specs. I like the Star Specs but was wondering if other rears would work in this situation? I don't autox or track the car.
Thanks

I would take them to americas tire and see if they can repair it before spending the money on new rears (they repair tires for free). Also I really don't think its a big deal to mix tires as long as they're in pairs of fronts or rears... especially for simply driving around but this. But this topic is very subjective and everyone has different driving abilities and levels of comfort so do what you feel good about.
