Hey folks, I hoped I can get some input from you on a weird issue I'm experiencing.
I've changed tires on my 17 Sportage recently, when arrived for a rotation/balancing was informed my alignment is bad, there was a side wear as well as tires thread was at 4 mm.
I kinda new it already so asked them what did they have in stock.
My OE size is 225/55/18 and the shop had only 235/55/18 in stock, they claimed it's not a big deal so I got that installed.
After the installation, I did feel that my car is leaning to the right a bit, I concluded for myself that it makes sense since the alignment still needs to be performed.
Yesterday I went into a local shop to get an alignment, and after they've performed it - the car is still leaning right.
I came back and was presented the pictures of the computer monitor they use to do alignments.
It looks perfect on those pictures, except for the fact the left bottom corner says 13 Sportage, while mine is 17 Sportage. I pushed that argument and it went nowhere - they keep saying
they know what they're doing and the alignment is perfect, ignore the "13 Sportage" text.
Any idea of where should I go from here?
I have 3 concerns here and please help me understanding if they make sense:
1. Tires are a bit bigger
2. Alignment was performed wrong (using "13 sportage" alignment runbook or whatever it's called)
3. Maybe the balancing wasn't performed properly
Will appreciate any input
