If you put new rotors and pads on, did you have a problem retracting the caliper piston to get the pads to fit? If not, the caliper is probably not seized and shouldn't be causing the pull. A good thing to check when you replace pads is the rubber boot around the caliper piston. If it is torn, odds are you will soon have a siezed piston as moisture will get in and corrode the piston/side wall. If that is OK, definitely try swapping tires (after you check pressure as noted before) to see if the problem moves. You didn't mention it, but is the brake pedal firm - if not you might want to bleed the brakes to make sure you don't have air or moisture in the line(s).

Good luck
