Flat tire yesterday

On the way home in my 2003 base, I hit a bump which felt much worse then it looked. After another mile or so the car started to feel funny, so I started to work my way out of the fast lane to the side of the freeway. By the time I got stopped, the left rear tire's inner sidewall was shredded. There are no nails or any signs of a puncture except the big holes in the sidewall. The 18" lightweight wheel thank goodness does not look damaged. I changed to the never before used mini spare and made it home.

My question is, can I get away with just replacing the one tire, or should I do both rears, or should I do all 4?

All 4 tires are Continental Sports with 11k miles, I would say half used up.
