think about it

whats changed ?

the circumference of that tyre. Be it new or whatever - its rotating at a slightly different rate to the other side and giving you this "pull" effect.

Yep. Add to that the pressures could be uneven and even uneven wear on one tyre can cause a pull like that.

Also, it's the same type of tyre of course, right?

Had alignment since?

if its second hand it could be worn unevenly

What size tyre did you replace it with? Same as left hand side? Also check tyre pressure, maybe left had side is a bit flat.

But i will be sure to get that done.

And actually the tyre is different to the others.

different tyres on both sides will pull differently. As to a new tyre vs old worn etc.

also different tyre manufacturers make tyres slightly different sizes to other manufacturers

Hey, sorry to stray from op but my front left tire's outside edge scrubs out alot worse than the right side, Im guessing this was from the last wheel alignment and I'm thinking that the toe might be pointing in more so than the left (they do this to make to car drive straight - please correct me if wrong). I've researched a way to bring toe back to 0-0 but am just wondering or any downside to doing this to my R other than having to hold on a little more with the everyday road camber. Cheers.

Are you going to do it yourself? Take it for another alignment and explain it to them imo
