Question:

Where do I go for a tire on my 2011 Chevy Cruze?

I recently got a flat tire and want the same exact tire back on my car.

Answer:

I bet a dollar that your 2011 Cruze is running the Firestone FR710. $95 on tirerack, or not much more from your local Firestone retailer.
Usually the dealership carries EXACT tires for the vehicles they sell (for a while at least), doesn't mean you need to go there. Depends on the tire but if it's a name brand you should generally call around to places like firestone to see if they have it. If it's something like kumho or hankook you can call any other tire shop (they might also carry the expensive brands but usually they focus on the cheaper stuff). After looking it up they're probably firestone tires but they might be michelin; call up a local firestone regardless.
I'm going to say this. You might be able to get your flat tire fixed and, if you can; everything should be OK and you'll save some money too. You could search around for the EXACT same tire to replace the flat tire (same size and same brand). However, you may be going through a lot of trouble that you don't have to do. There are many tire manufacturers that make new tires to fit your car that are the same size as the flat tire. And the replacement from a tire store could cost less than an exact replacement (same size and same brand). When your car gets older and you get a flat tire, you can search around for a used tire to replace the flat tire and save a few dollars that way too.
