Q: Car pulls to the right after tire rotation
One of the tires on the car has been mounted on the rim. It was done at the tire shop but I put it on myself. About 20 days ago, another tire was bad so I had it replaced. Also, I purchased two new tires and had them rotated. The new tires are on the rear end and the previously changed one is in the front now. There are several different brands of tires on my car now. The car ran great until I had the tires rotated. Now, my car pulls to the right and the malfunction indicator light is illuminated. What should I do?
