What sort of shape are the other three tires in?
Do you have a full sized spare, or a compact spare?

If you have a full sized spare:
Just get the bad one fixed, and use it as the new spare. You may want to go to a 4 tire rotation until you have to replace the others.

If you have a compact spare:
Usually it's a good idea to replace tires in pairs, but if you have almost new tires and can get the same ones you had on there before, you can get away with only replacing the flat one.

One more note:
If you get two new tires, and assuming you have a front wheel drive vehicle, the new tires should go on the front.
