Default replace one tire or two?

Well, I hit a huge pothole with the driver front tire and now I have this golf ball sized bubble on my sidewall. This pretty much means I have to replace it, right?

My question is should I replace both the front tires or can I get away with just replacing the bad one? Am i gonna get uneven wear and see more problems with only replacing one as opposed to two?

For reference.. the current set was installed 10/05.

Right.

As long as you're replacing it with the identical size and model, you can just replace the one tire.

Even though the other three have over a year of wear on them?

Yes.

However, if the other three are so worn that you are going to replace them soon, and you think you would like to replace them with some different make/model of tire, you might want to do two or even all four now, with that other make/model.
