Default Replacing flat tire question

I got a nasty flat tire today (see pic). Right in the driver rear tire sidewall. Obviously it will need to be replaced, but can I just replace the one tire? I have the staggered set up on a 350 F-sport. Tires only have about 12k on them with a lot of tread left.

The short answer is, yeah, you can.

You might want to compare the tread depth of a new tire to what is currently on the car in order to judge how worn they are. Judging by the wear bars in the tread and the edges of the tread, is does not look like much wear at all for 12K on the tire. And, of course, be sure to get the same tire as is on the passenger rear.

I just checked and my current tires are on clearance, so better to just replace both I think
