Need a crappy tire

So - I had my car up on my brother's lift on Monday. My rear tires are destroyed. One is on the belts and now losing air. I ordered new tires that day but got an email from the tire distributor that the tires they had already mailed (which they hadn't mailed) were marked wrong and were the incorrect profile. I'm getting a set of Nitto's which were more expensive for the same price, but shipping is delayed 2 days. Now, I already made one trip down to the guys doing my installation work on the gauges, but they didn't have a bay to keep it overnight. So, I filled up the tire and brought it home. I go out today (the car goes back in the shop tonight) and the tire is low again. It's probably down to 20-25 psi. I don't want to drive it 30 miles like that and my new tires won't be probably till next week. So - I need 1 if not 2 tires to throw on the rear for driving down to the shop. It is possible that my car will be dyno-tuned on these same tires. I don't want to buy a new pair of tires if I'm only going to drive on them for 200 miles but I am certainly not putting my car in the shop with a donut.

This is the suck.

Couldn't find something used through the usual channels. Looks like I am buying a new tire and mounting it on rim #5.

North Jersey - Got a Hancook for 133$. More expensive than a used, but I'll keep it mounted on my fifth rim for a full spare. Car is now officially in the shop.
