I was wondering which side does the car pull towards if the air pressure is lower in the left tire. does it pull to the left or to the right?

simple physics bro... If there is less pressure on the left.. than the whole cars stance is off a few degrees to the left... which would convey a slight drift to where.. hmmm.. THE LEFT! ..

F.Y.I - also you must take into affect that most cars drift to the left when you are in the left hand lane because the left hand lane is tilted to the left so water runns off and such.

this is why i drive close to the center and often use the reflectors as a brail for my blind ***

but really i do this, so that there is less of a chance of hydro and water near my CAI, i ve been in a bad slide when the roads are wet and ive locked up motor once when ran off the road and into big puddle.. i stay in left lane now when it rains.


back to thread.. how much psi off would it be to take a noticable effect? i mean a few cant be that PULLY

thats a bad idea. you'll be chewing up one tire from mis-alignment, and the other from underinflation.

FWIW - on a FWD car, you won't notice too much pulling if it's the rear tire that is undrinflated
