Default Car pulls in different directions at different spds

My 95 V6 EXR pulls to one side at lower speeds and pulls to the other side at higher speeds? Sometimes it doesn't pull at all and drives dead straight???

I currently have 195 65 15's (all season) on the car now instead of the 205 60 15's that come stock on the accord. Should i still use the 32 psi front 2 psi rear that my manual suggest or do i need to adjust my pressure? If so to what? At 32PSI my front tires look low.

I also noticed a section of my power steering belt is frayed.

Could it be my tires, the belt, or do I just need to get an alignment?

Thanks for any help you might offer.

it's not the belt.

Fill your tires to the recommended level indicated on the tires.

Could be an alignment, if you haven't had one in a while, may be a good time to get one and make sure everything is good.

But since you said it's pulling different directions, sometimes straight and not one consistant direction, it could be your tires just following the road. I had Kumho 712's on my Accord last and they liked to follow the road, I noticed it and upon further searching I found others had the same thing happen. It would pull defferently depending on the road I was on but usually it did the same thing on the same road. May not be your cause but it's something to take note of.

My tire - Goodyear integrity 195 65 15 - don't have a recommended presssure only a max pressure of 44 Psi thats a little high I think.

Yeah I cheked it out and i think your right they do follow the road. I was thinking the following might also be worse if the pressure in my tires too low I've got 34 Psi in them now? I'm scared to go too much higher?
