Need some advice
I bought new tires in december last year at sears tire center and today i was doing springs installation on my car and when the car was on the alignment machine i found out that i have one tire with a different size all my tires are 225-45-17 and this one is 235-45.
What should i do will my car be fine if they replace just one tire?
Thanks in advance

Im assuming since you have the same size tires, you have an IS250 AWD. This information would be really useful and determines if you should replace the tire or not. If you have a RWD car, only the two back tires need to be the same size, the front can be different sizes without damaging your car (however different sizes up front will affect handling).
Since im assuming you have an AWD, having a different tire size will slowly mess up your differential. I would suggest you change out that tire.
Of course your differential can tolerate some size differences so your car wont blow up or anything if you decide not to change out the tire.
