I hit a piece of tar sticking out of a pothole - it was a very hard hit...I got to where I was going and checked the car. The front tire had a bulge so I called AAA. They sent me to NTB who replaced the tire and moved it to the rear. The front end was aligned and the car does not feel right. The steering wheel is slightly off center, the front feels like it is not holding the road sometimes and it just feels off. The car is a 2013 Acura RDX with 8700 miles and was perfect before this. What do I do? Do I take it to the dealer for a really good check?

What do I do? Do I take it to the dealer for a really good check? I do not know who to trust.

It is the same tire brand and model that was on the car and they put it on the back. The front seems to be vibrating a bit at lower speeds. This car took a really hard hit - it even flipped open the sunglasses holder in the ceiling! I am afraid there was other damage they did not see. I wonder if a trip to my Acura dealer is in order. This car is not even a year old.

Thank you both! The new tire on old rim is in the back now...the front feels "off". I will take it to my dealer to check it out. It was a hellava crack...

Update: i went to my Acura dealer...rim was bent and now replaced...they said as soon as they heard tire was moved to back they knew the rim must have an issue. There was a definite vibration - even one of my carpoolers mentioned it the day after the hit! The 4 wheel alignment is done. Car drives the way I remember it. Taking a short trip on the highway tomorrow, but it feels right. Thank you for your advice.
