replaced passenger rear tire and car pulls left
Few months ago i replaced my wheels with 997tt 09 style and new toyo tires
the other day i had the car on the lift and found out the rear Driver tire had some bubles at the inner side. Next morning called Town fair tires where i purchased the tires and they said is Road Hazard and is not covered under warranty Well i called the main office and complained and the manager agreed to give me 50% off to replace the tire. Next day i replaced the tire and going to work ,when i accelerate fast the car pulls to the left. i called them and thought it does that cause the other tire was used few months,but they said not suppost to do that anyway. Any idea why this happen? i had no problem till i replaced the tire |
if one tire is significantly worn compared to the other the car can pull under accel/decel...also, big difference in tire pressures can do same thing...check pressures in both tires...could also just be a bad tire...be sure and check the size on the sidewall and make sure they put the same size tire on..if different profile/circumference will also pull...good luck

I'd start with tire pressure and than check allignment. If one of your tires failed prematurely might happen to the new one too.

i had no problem till i replaced the tire
i checked the pressure and the new tire was around45psi and the other side was almost 30psi i put 36 front tires and 38 rear both and still pulls on left little less than before but still does the new tire is the same size and everything. they talled me from town fair tire its not doing that cause one tire is few months old but i had no problem at all before we replaced the tire,someone mention alignment how can be the alignment?they did not touch anything other tha replace the tire i still think if i replace the other tire on passenger side should be ok what you guys think? i will call main office and talk with manager from town fair too |
do you have rear spacers by any chance...is there any possibility that when they changed the tire they removed the spacer?

check the look of it compared to the right rear to make sure it is seated properly and it is the same size
