Hey guys, i got a flat tire yesterday, and today my dad drove it on the rim to a tire shop nearby. Well he just bought a used tire and now the car pulls to the right if i let the steering wheel go. Any of you guys know how I can fix it? I know the tires don't match but its the same size. 3 old tires, and 1 (new used) tire. Ideas?

edit: my dad says drive it for a couple of days and the tires will get used to each other??

 

wtf get a new tire...

Perhaps you damaged the rim by driving it to the shop? Or you messed up the alignment somehow?

 

mismatched tires often pull, new tires with old tires often pull. Try rotating the one new tire to the rear of the vehicle, the pull should go away.

 

But yea swap it to the rear.

Or what you could do is that some places could wear down that tire to match your other 3.

 

What tire guy said...

You should always buy tires in at least pairs... But if you don't at least get the two that match up front...

 

Thanks for the advice guys, I think I'll take tireguy's advice and switch the new tire with one from the rear.
