Default What is wrong with my car?

A year ago i bought 4 tires for my 1995 GSR. Had it balance and alligned. I noticed that my car pulls to the left. And after few months I went back to have it balance, rotation and check the allignment again. Shop said my allignment is okay. After rotating my tires, my car pulls to the right. What is wrong with my car? Are my tires damage or something? Thanks for any info that you can share with me.

P.S.
Here's the summary since I bought my tires:
1. Balance and Rotaion, Allignment. - car pulls to the left,
2. Check allignment again - car still pulls to the left.
3. Balacne and Rotation - car pulls to the right
4. Balance and Rotation - car pulls to the left
How can I tell which tire is defective?
again thanks.

My truck did that. It's something with your tires. Could be a slight difference in the height of the tire. If one is smaller, it will spin faster.. one is taller and it will travel further in 1 rotation.... I dunno, something like that. Could be just a manufacturer defect. Try another rotation.

I wrecked once after buying new tires. (cheap generics) Since they were new I didnt replace them. I had the same damn problem forever. I thought my suspension was warped somewhere. Eventually I bought some toyo proxes and it solved the problem. Uneven tire wear is your best bet. Scrap `Em.
