Scottish Elises

Im in a bit of a pickle. I had a slow puncture on my daily drive, issue was a large screw

So took the car along to the local garage where they tried plugging it with no success. I agreed to pay for a new tyre of the same brand.

Came back few hours later to find the car ready with a continental contact 5 tyre where my other tyres are all continental contact 3. They did say they had checked and this wasnt going to cause any issues with handling.

I wouldnt care but the car is new and only 3 months old now : should i have rejected what they did, im trying to see both sides that they wanted to give me the car back for getting home???

Whats the thoughts on this?

TIA

If i am reading the detail right as long as the size, speed indicator etc...matches there should be no issue ?

Its whether my OCD allows me to have an odd pattern on the car

That's how I read it. Now share your OCD despite running part worn tyres and remolds in the past. But do you put the odd tyre front or rear.
