1996 Chevy Cavalier

when i drive my car and come to a stop or take off from a stop also when i make turns a popping noise comes from the front end of my car, what is this? we just found out that whoever had the car before me had put two different size tires on it. it takes fourteen inch tires, they had two fourteens and two fifteens. could this have made the popping noise happen because it just started yesterday and i've had the car for about a month now.

Check the front inboard and outboard CV axle joints, also inspect boots for rips/tears.

Using different size tires is not a good idea.
