A repair shop installed the wrong tire size on your vehicle — they put 245/45R17 tires when your 2018 Malibu needs 225/55R17. This mismatched tire can affect how your car handles and performs. When you contacted the shop to fix their mistake, they refused to help and were unprofessional about it. The fix will require replacing the incorrect tire with the correct size specified for your vehicle.
