Default alignment?

i got a 2001 1.8t and it pulls to the right inconsistently, mind you the roads where i live are **** but it wasn't this bad when i bought the car. i did have a flat and put a spare on it, the spare said it was the same size but to me it looks a little bigger. i'm just wondering what i should get looked at when i take it in to get an oil change.

tires have their sizes on them. take a look and you'll find out if they're the same or not. i think you should just go get an alignment and balance

You should change all 4 tires if any one of them is different or at least get them all to match. What size wheels do you have? Additionally, I agree with Hiwords... get an alignment.

Check the air pressure in all 4 tires. Check for brake drag. If this
doesn't help, go to a good front-end shop.
