Tire Question

Well a few months back I had a blow out and ordered me another tire from the delearship. they sent me the wrong one it fit it was the exact size just a different tread pattern, I thought it would look alright and sit alright but it did not. After the tire was put on they would not take it back, so I said screw it and used it. Well now I have enough money to buy another stock tire..going to suck, but it looks bad, sorta leans to the left a bit. Question is, have I done any damage by running this tire? The tire does not seem as wide as the stock ones...but its a bit shorter not by much just minutely notecable...

BTW this tire is on the rear.

No, not at all. the only thing you *could* have done is cause some uneven tire wear. don't sweat it

Thank you for the relief guys, I was just worried about messing up the rear "axel" i guess you would call it. It just looks ugly as hell don't want to ride all ghetto like. thats the reason I am getting another tire. Thank you though.
