Default Staggered Setup

The other night the front right wheel on my integra gs went flat. I had two used 195/65/15 tires laying around so I got a used tire shop to switch one of my current back tires to the front and put the used tire on the back.

I was running 195/55/on the other three tires so now my back right tire is larger than the rest. The ride is uneven and uncomfortable. Would things improve if I mounted my other used 195/65/15 on the back too? Then at least the rear end of the car would be completely level.

I'm not looking for performance or even style. I just want a comfortable and safe ride. Can I safely run that setup or not?

wow those are some huge tires. I would just get a used 195/55-15 tire from a tire shop until you can get all 4 new tires. Did that recently on my wife's car since it doesn't need a full set of tires yet. Cost was about $35 mounted and balanced for the used tire. They had several in that car's size and they let me pick the one I wanted.

Couldn't find reasonable prices around here. I put the larger tires on the rear and now it was good to go. Actually rode better than before.
