If you've had a new tyre fitted,and it's the correct size -

See where you're coming from,now.:) -
been around a bit/self,but don't do tubeless.rather get them fitted,sounds to me that you should take your bike BACK to the garage,on the premise of them treating you like a c...,get them to put the rear on front,front on rear............
Might wanna slip a little mention in there,it was noticed by the POoolice or the supply of equipment& services pre-MOT of dubious quality (the list goes on!!)make sure they fit & are sized correctly,I.E.,YOU RIDE THE BIKE,before you're out of their hair.,
Don't rant or complain,gets you nowhere,that -
shops tend to take a stance then,you probs.ain't the 1st................. Be 'suggestive' & clever with it;).
