I had my wheels changed (to the same wheel size) and had my tires rotated. I had the tire shop put glue (inside of the wheel) weights on. Now my car pulls to the passanger side. It did not do this before and I am baffeled by this. The issue is REALLY noticable.
Any idea on what this could be?

**EDIT**Tire pressure is the same give a few PSI

 

Usually when a car pulls to one side, the problem is in the car's alignment, not in the wheels themselves.

I'm not sure why changing wheels and tires would have anything to do with the pulling showing up... unless your new tires had so much better traction that the pulling became more noticeable, and was masked before by the older, worn tires? Or maybe one of your wheels is slightly out of round, but didn't cause pulling when it was on the back, only when it was moved to the front?

If you still have your other set of wheels and tires, you could swap them back on and see if the problem goes away. But if you're saying that you had the wheels changed but still are using the same set of tires, that's not an option (but you could try rotating the tires back to their previous position to see if that makes the problem go away).

I would take the car to a good mechanic with the equipment to do an alignment. Maybe others here have some other ideas of something else you can try first...

Thanks.

As I mentioned, you could try rotating the tires back to their previous positions, to see if that makes the problem go away. But I'm still betting it's the alignment... (Maybe someone else here has some other ideas?)
