Steering Wheel Vibration and handling bad after tire rotation.
I rotated the tires on my car last week (directional tires) and after I did this my steering wheel vibrates and the car seems to pull to one side. I rotated the tires back to the original position before I rotated them and it does the same thing.
I doubt my alignment is off since I had it done about 3 months ago. I was thinking maybe it had to do with the hubcentric rings or maybe some other problem I can't think of.
Thanks for any help on this...

Get everything re balanced. You may have just knocked off a weight. I drove without a hub ring for a few miles on my old car and it did not cause any problems. If you put one on backwards it may force the wheel out balance. I would just take it to a shop and have a rotate and balance.

Could be the balance, but check your air pressures.
I just rotated my directional Dunlop SP 9000 today and car was pulling left HARD. The new front right tires was 10 PSI less than the other 3, so after evening them out, car is neutral again.
Good luck,
