Default "Wheels pulling on uneven roads"

I just got new tires w/complete balancing. I noticed when I drove on uneven roads the tires tends to pull with the uneven road. Got my wheel alignment done, it help out alot for other aspects such as handling and less vibrations, and rides much better but still pulls on uneven surfaces. Can somebody help? Thanks in advance!!

I have the same problem. I got my tires rotated and balanced. If I drive on un-even pavement/roads/freeways, my car pulls a certain way too. I know it will be ok. The tirest are just grippin because they are fresh. But my brother's car does it, my crx did it. I think it will be ok

Its normal, your tires are gripping on to the pavement seams.

Thanks for the support!!! I'm just afraid that on the highway when driving close to the rail if the road is uneven it might pull me into the rail. And don't talk about winter, hopefully everything will be alright!! I'm going to call the place where I got my alignment done. Just to see if it could be the steering knuckle or drive shaft, or some other problems. Anybody else know what else can cause your wheels to pull on uneven pavements? Thanks!!!

Well, the road is UNEVEN. Your car isn't going to track straight. There's a little stretch of road near my parents' house that is horrible. No potholes and **** but just really bumpy and uneven. The car drives crooked as ****. And it sucks if you have to brake because the car will jerk left and right. As long as the car goes straight and doesn't wander when the road is even and flat, you're okay.

Its much more noticeable after you've gotten wider/stickier tires as well.
