I just bought 2 new tires at a Costco and they put the new ones on the rear of my car and moved the older rear tires to the front. Before the new tires my car did not pull. As soon as the new tires were installed my car pulls to the right when I'm driving. I checked the tire pressure and the tires are ok. What could be wrong? Would it be alignment if there was no pull before the new tires were put on the rear? Or might it be a bad tire? Help! Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Feb 13, 2011, 7:28 PM Post #2 of 4 (1630 views) Re: New rear tires and suddenly pulling to the right Sign In I suggest when getting new tires - best in pairs at least also getting an alignment as the used tires may have worn into a pattern of being out of line and now it's showing up. A responsible alignment should include checking for worn steering and suspension parts. If it was the old tires if you swapped those left to right and it pulled the other way, they have a problem is my bet, T aGrandma New User Feb 14, 2011, 8:13 AM Post #3 of 4 (1617 views) Re: New rear tires and suddenly pulling to the right Sign In Since I got the 2 new tires at Costco, there was no alignment because Costco doesn't do that. The two tires that WERE on the back are now on the front and pulling to the right. Would you say the best and least expensive way to test for the problem is to switch the front two older tires (that still look in great shape) to see if the car pulls to the right still? If they don't pull that means one tire is defective, correct? If they DO pull, that means it's the alignment, correct?

You should never change just one tire anyway so replacing the front 2 tires should resolve you're issue. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
