Car Help, anyone ??

[diggi]

Ok, so I was driving on a highway 70-80 mph maybe less I dunno.. and I couldn't switch lanes had cars on both sides left and right..I also had a car in front of me so I couldn't see a good full view.. so I see this spare tire that is just right there in the middle of highway and it happens to be in my lane.. as I was driving fast I happend to run over it with my front right tire - driver's side.. I tried avoiding it but couldn't completely because I'd almost hit the car on my right.. so I ran over it.. and I'm thinking oh shit my tire will get flat or something even bigger will happend..and nothing.. I come home.. and I see this air bubble start to come on the top of the tire .. about 2' long.. I knew that it was from the spare tire I ran over earlier.. so to be on a safe side I grab a spare tire from my trunk.. original rim with just different tire name..I have all goodyears but my spare one was Eagle.. anyways I put this new tire with the original rim..and something starts to happend. Whenever I let the wheel go my car starts turning slowly to the left.. ?? I really didn't notice this with the tire and the rim I had when I ran over that tire on the highway..

now my question is.. could this spare tire I just put has a bent rim - its the first time I'm using it or something else happened..

Also what possible damage could of happened..when I ran over that spare tire on highway..its not a big tire its the tiny one.. that can get you from point A to B.. not big tire..

I looked underneath the car the only thing I saw was some scratches under my front rightisde bumper..thats all..

btw..its Audi S4.

check the rim and tire size of the spare...is it smaller than the others? or larger? it didnt pull right after, correct? get the old tire changed out with a new one asap..it's gotta be rim size (witch can couse big prob's for ya) if it didnt pull after it happened. if it did pull, could be ball joints, tie rod's, or front end allignment.
oh, and it being a diff. tire has me wondering if it's even the same tire size...
