2 different size tires up front... any affects?
Yesterday i got another flat on my drivers side front tire. The tire couldn't be fixed so i had to use a spare i had in my garage. The only problem is, its a 235/35/19 where as my other tire on the passenger side is a 225/35/19.
what are the affects of running 2 different sized tires up front?
I hopefully will only run this for a couple weeks, i plan on picking up 2 new tires, 235/35's this time around..
Thanks!

It's really hard on the steering components due to the differing levels of drag. It can also cause stability issue if you drive too aggressively. I'd try to do as little highway driving as possible, and leave plenty of room so you don't have to use evasive maneuvers.
Oh, and you will probably need an alignment if you drive that way for too long.
