Thoughts on running 2 different tires? (more inside)

So i just got a set of 4 19x8.5 BBS RS-GT wheels with Fuzion ZRi tires on them for $800. The bad news is one tire has a cut out sidewall, and the other was on the wheel that hit the curb and so it is wasted as well. The tires arent a big deal since the wheels were a smoking deal, but due to college my expenses are tight. I found a deal for 2 Bridgestone RE050A's with about 75% tread left for $65 mounted and balanced. Should I do this, save money, and run two different types of tire (then buy a new set of 4 next summer) even though the Bridgestone has horrible ratings on tirerack, or should i buy a new set of 4 tires? Oh, if anyone has a used set i'm looking for 235/35/19, or possibly a 245/35/19 if it will fit.

There can be a fair amount of variance between the actual diameters of the tires. A matched set of "budget brand" (kumhos sumitomos) may be the best bet.

can be ~4/32" off of each other.
I'm currently running 2 S03s (F) and 2 RE040 (R) for street, which have the same rev per mile spec.
