you need a wheel alignment, that's the only thing that will make your car pull like that unless the air pressure in the new tires are low in one tire or you have a brake caliper hanging up a little on one side, anytime you get new tires you should have the car aligned.
Have the front tires swapped left to right. If the pull goes away and it drives straight your fine. If it switches to the right you have a "radial pull" which can happen even with new tires. If nothing changes it is a vehicle problem, possibly wheel alignment. Most modern vehicles takea 4-WHEEL alignment, not just a front end alignment. We're not all driving 73' Buick's anymore. Wheel alignment though contrary to popular opinion rarely causes a pull condition. The alignment angle that causes a pull (camber) is not even adjustable on most modern vehicles. It is almost always the tires that are the culprit.
If it is a radial pull you may be able to get the offending tire swapped by the store for a different one, but radial pulls are not considered a safety issue so it is not covered under warranty by the tire manufacturer.New tires and now car is pulling to the left?
first check the air in the tires an d truth is any time you get new tires should have front end alignment check and new tires should always go on rear (michelin states that in a test i just pass)
its not right it was pulling before now it is either tires low or one is bad or out of alignment
the alignment could be off or they did that on purpose to get you back in the shop for more work (it does happen quite a bit actually) either way you need your alignment checked, i would try and find a shop that can give you the best price and not go back to the other shop again just to be sure.New tires and now car is pulling to the left?
Every time you buy new tires or rotate your tires, you need to have it aligned. Go to a shop and ask for a front end alignment. I have my tires rotated and front end aligned every six thousand miles.
The person that put the tires on should have told you that you needed to have an front end alignment. If the tires were put on in a garage,they also should have been balanced.
Hi i work at a car and tire shop.. by the sounds of it your going to need a wheel alignment done and for expensive it isn't that bad less then what you paid for the tires for sure.!!
One of the new tires may be bad. The easiest way to tell is to swap the tires left to right and see if the car pulls the other way.
Check your air pressure. Having more pressure in one side than the other will make the vehicle pull just like alignment. Based on the tires just being replaced, that's probably the issue since new tires may leak a little when first mounted.
Did the tire guy say anything about uneven tire wear ?? Could just need an alignment. Were your old tires bald ?? Bald tires can mask an alignment problem.
