It comes in 3's (back tires)

Well, they say everything comes in 3's...After getting my car back for a week...I shredded the back tire on some metal in the road. I took the car to the tire shop and guess what...5-7 working days until they get the tires in. I ordered 265/40Z/R18 (Bridgestone Pontenza 0550A) and they said that size tire is in high demand? Does that sound right? Anyway, they had to ship them in from Austin. Even tire rack quoted me 4 days and gave me the Spanish Inquisition about whether these were my original tires. What is that all about?

My tire only had 9500 miles on it. Here is the question: I ordered two so I didn't have to go through this whole scenario again. Should I just change both of them or if I only put one on will there be a weird wear thing going on?
