when i bought my car used, it was going towards the left. i thougth ok what ever its the alignment i'll fix it later. then i got Falkin Azenis from american tire. now it goes to the right. whats wrong, is it just an alignment problem or did american tire mount it wrong?

 

so it pulled to the left, you figured it was the alignment, and instead of fixing it you went and bought new tires? wtf.

go get an alignment

 

before you get all crazy on me, im going to school and dont have much cash. i saved up enough to get the tires because i NEEDED them bad. just wanted to know why because i thought that if there was a problem with alignment and the car pulled left, it would do the same what ever tire i had. i was going to do the alignment after the tires but then this came up so thats why im asking.

 

you might want to make sure you get those wheels checked out. If they balance at the tire shop without adding much weight then youre ok. but if they require alot of balance weight, that could be bent wheels.. do this first.. if it the wheels are ok then you should get the alignment checked out. And its not like its a bad thing to buy new tires.. quit flamin.. punk!

 

save the 60 bucks and get an alignment you spent 350+ on tires and mouunting i think you can afford an alignment

 

it is when they are wearing down at a fast rate anyways and a pair costs three times as much as the alignment would have...304

 

Maybe he made a mistake and shouldn't have bought the tires and gotten an alignment instead. But he didn't. And now he needs help. So if you two don't have anything reasonable to add, go away.

You might have some radial pull. Try this, rotate the front two tires only. (Don't drive them on anything but dry roads.) If you then pull to the opposite direction, before rotating them, it sounds like you have a bad tire.

 

to the dudes that tried to help thanks. to the rest of you, stop being haters. i was gonna get the alignment after the tires. i was down to the friggin thread and have an extremely busy school/work schedule. so i chose tires first. i am now planning to get an alignment and like i said, i just thought i'd ask about the wierd thing i was experiencing. sorry for asking. **** man bunch of haters in here.

I'm not gonna be a hater, but here's a thought...

If the old tires were worn really funny, causing it to pull left; then instead of buying new tires the PO tried to compensate by mucking around with alignment... Now you got tires that are OK, so it pulls to the right because of how the alignment is off. If you don't get the alignment soon, you're gonna screw up your NEW tires!

Yeah bro get it checked soon, its good that you bought the new tires though, its recommended to purhcase tires (if you need to) before the alignment rather than after, let us know what they tell you. Oh and some more advise, if you still have the old ones, bring them to the shop, it kinda gives them hints to what is wrong.

It doesn't matter if he drives on dry or wet roads after rotating, they are Azenis tires which are not directional, but only asymmetrical (certain side must face outward).

That's correct. I didn't see that he bought some Azenis and assumed that he had directional tires. But, my basis was to swap the front two for experimentation purposes only. As they may have a radial pull.
