Default question about '90 accord tire

Okay so I am not completly automobile smart. I need some help. I have a 90 accord lx 4 dr sedan. When I let go of the steering wheel my car shifts to the right quite a bit. Can someone explain what needs to be done, do I need a wheel alignment? And I am also wondering what the tire pressure (psi) needs to be on the stock tires please help me out...

like you said, either alignment or tire pressure could be your problem and the recommended tire pressure should be on the sidewall of your tire.

incorrect, the vehicle's required tire pressure is on a sticker inside the drivers side door. the pressure rating on the tire is more of a generic measurement.

if you are pulling to the right, then id say you need an alignment. your right front wheel is probably toed out, and it might have positive camber too...

or your rear wheels are dog tracking

I just checked my tires they are general ameri g4s tires and are pretty worn out so I can't even read what is written on there...to be safe I am just going to get a wheel alignment I suppose... how much does it cost and where can I get it done?

LoL ...to be safe I am just going to get a wheel alignment

Get new tires first, youll be shocked at the difference! If the tires are that old you may have a broken cord inside of the tire, witch increases the tire dia. causing the car to pull! Late Playa
