Well ladies and gentlemen I got my car back from letting my aunt borrow it and now I'm on the roads and well throroughly shocked on what has happend to my car while I was away.....

During a 3 Week Period:
2 Flats
2000 (ish) miles
Now my car has that oil burning smell....

Well I am glad that she saved my two of my precious yokos but now the car has 4 DIFFERENT tires on it, it has never driven as poorly as it is now....

RF: General 215/65
RB: Goodyear 215/65
LF: Goodyear 215/70
LB: Goodyear (a different type tho, the other 3 r white walls on my car and this one is a black wall ): 215/70

She took it to sum off the beaten road tire place to get all of the tires replaced cause it'd end up being cheaper than getting replacement yoko's

I dont even care about the current tires, i'm prolly gonna ebay 'em and pay my aunt back and make sum money for myself and replace my yokos .... but seriously what would motivate a mechanic to put on two diff types of tires for L/R??? That's my question.... Also would that oil burning smell hint I need an oil change (it's only been 4k)? Or more problems on the rise?

btw car: 1998 Buick LeSabre Limited (orig tires: Yoko Aegis 215/70s)

the 'mechanic' was probably working at some tire shop she went to, so just mixed n matched whatever was around

Well I thought this was more of a rambling....

She doesn't have a car and I didn't want my car sitting for 3wks.

Nah I love her, I'm glad she's safe n all (he's really only happy because she didn't hawk my two yoko's).

Different sized tired were used instead or fixing the alignment.
