The car was aligned prior to the swap!

I never knew wheels/tires affect the alignment. only the balence. Is that true? Could it be just the air pressure in the tires? Or is there a chance I messed up the alignment when I removed the summer wheels?

Someone please advise,

Thanks in advance.


(wtf happened to by Avator? It disappered?)

 

Are the snow tires that you put on new? Tread depth differences will produce symptoms like you are experiencing.

 

oh no.. actually, let me clarify.. they not actually snow tires. They are tires off my friends civic... 14' steelies with all season GoodYears in the front, and Perellies (spelling?) in the rear. They are not new, looks like they have been used for a year or so.

You think this could be the problem?

I have to check the air pressure, what is the reccomened air pressure for the front and back?

Thanks for your help guys

Have you checked the tread wear on it? If its used and from another car probably the tread on the tires are making you sway to the right.

 

It happens. Rotate the tires left and right or front to back and you'll see that it stops pulling to the right, may even pull the to the left.

Doesn't mean that the tires are bad, just not perfect.

 

thanks dude...

I'll try that
