Default Accent tires

Soooooo the Hyundai dealership has taken my car for 2 days straight claiming they were putting new tires on my accent. Now when i called to pick it up they said they could not find anyone who has these tires. For some odd reason they told me they are going to put one new tire on it. Now why would they give me one random tire. This is ridiculous and i told them i want a check for new tires and i will find them myself. So does anyone know where i can get new tires for a 2003 Hyundai Accent? Thank You if you have any ideas because Im furious.

OEM tires? Is that what you're looking for?

Were they supposed to put 4 new tires on or what? Why are you having the dealership do it?

Tires usually have nothing to do with a car pulling one way or the other.

Are they wanting to replace them under warranty? If not just go somewhere better and have them look at it. The dealership doesn't know jack about tires and it'll cost way more than a tire store will.

dealerships can sometimes be stealerships,

since you have a LC2 and assuming you don't have a GT..your stock size is 175-70-r13

the gt size is 185-60-14..
try discounttire.com or tirerack.com..way cheaper..

there's no point of putting a different size on the other side of the car, that just makes the pulling worse, who would want to put a bridgestone and a kumho on the other side?

have the brakes checked, the caliper's on the both size might not be biting properly, due to air bubbles in the lines
