Default Burning Smell of Plastic and Clutch

I own a 1998 Accord EX that we purchased used froma dealer. After replacing the driver side tires a month ago, I noticed the car pulls to the left ONLY after releasing the clutch as I go after a stop. Recently, I have been smelling something that smells like burning plastic but I only smell it when I get out of the car. The other day, my wife said the car would not get into gear. I checked the oil and seemed a little low but the other fluids are fine. Is all this related? It just seems funny that we had all these problems within a month. My 96 Civic hasn't had any problems. Any thoughts?

Got me about the smell part of it, but for the fact of the car pulling my car does something like that. When I press on the gas half throttle or more the cars pulls to the right and as soon as i let off the gas the car is straight and perfect. And i have perfect alignment to, i dont get it, its an accord thing i guess.

did you replace just the front tire or both tires on the driverside. If it was both Have the one in back moved to the front passenger side. If it is just the one you have two choices you can leave it on there and deal with the pulling which would be good because the front driverside tire wears the the fastest so it may catch up to the others in wear. Or you can just move it to the back that should end the pulling problem
