When I first bought my car, it had a slight pull to the right, but I figured it was just out of alignment. I did an alignment, and everything was in spec, but it still pulled to the right. Later, I got diffrent wheels (rota's with potenza so3's), and without any other adjustments (alignment) the car tracked perfectly straight. During the winter, I had a diffrent set of wheels, (teg fat fives) with all seasons, and the car still tracked perfectly.

In the past few months, my potenza's have been getting pretty worn (tons of drag racing, autocross, road course) and also I flat spotted one of them last week, so I decided to put my stock wheels back on. As soon as I put them on, the pull is back.

I don't understand it. All four tires are the exact same tire, all have the exact same amount of where, all the same pressure.

What could it be? Could it be the tire? Could the wheel be at fult.

 

bump I need an answer quick

 

Tires do that sometimes. Cross the front tires to see what happens.

 

all right, I'll try that.

 

I'll vote for the tires too. Its funny, they can look very normal with respect to even wear, but still cause a pull.

Yep, 9 times out of 10 when we get a pull or drift complaint, it's the tires.

 

cool, thats what I wanted to know. This winter I am going up to the Upper Pennisula of michigan to Michigan tech (if you think of it as a rabit, its up in the ear) So theres going to be ALOT of snow. Anyways, I am going to put some snow tires on my Stock sol wheels, so I wanted to make sure that that was the problem before I bought the snow tires. Thanks for the replys

 

could it have just been the orignal wheels, couldnt they have been bent to cause the off alignment...

Bent wheels will usually cause a vibration or wobble.
