Dear 1984GL,

Hope you're well. I infer from your comments, that this car tracked straight, before the tires were replaced and an alignment done.

Thus, it is entirely possible that one of the front tires is defective. Switch the rear tires to the front and move the front tires to the rear. See if there's any change. If so - if the slight pull to the right goes away - then one or both of the front tires is/are defective. If not, then I'd have another shop check the alignment.

While tires come from factories, they are hand-made and thus there is variance from one to the next.

It is also possible, that the alignment, for which you likely paid, wasn't properly done.

Find a straight and level section of road, on which to ascertain the impacts of switching the tires from front to rear.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
