last sunday one of my front tire got slashed up pretty bad, so I had to use the spare tire.

I called every number in NYC's yellow page but couldn't find one in stock, so I had to wait til wednesday. those 4 days was like hell, I know I shouldn't use the spare for long time but I needed for work. I think I drove around about 150Miles.
the steering, TOD, engine everything was going bad.

finally yesterday I got the tires, I even got 2 so it would balence out. but the TOD is still jumpy, I hear grinding noice from where I had the spare, and engine seems little heavy.

can anyone help me, anybody with similar case?

one suggestion for everybody,

1-don't use the spare
2-get a same size wheel from junk yard
3-get a yakima loadwarrior/rooftop basket, and mount your tire init.

I think it will cost about $400 but is geat investment. Plus it will look awesome.

thanks
