So I replaced my steelies with some honda alloys (used rubber) with tyres all the same size and now my car constantly pulls to the left really hard.

I tried rotating the tyres but that didn't fix the problem.

What could be causing this that didn't happen with the steelies?

have the wheels been balanced? check tyre pressure.

did u check for buckled wheels?

Not buckled. I dont know if they have been balanced, I guess I better go and get them balanced and aligned.

usually you need to align your wheels with every wheel change. apparently the rubber does not site perfectly straight so with one set of wheels you'll get a different pull.

That's why they tell you to get an alignment with new tyres fitted

Just get one done dude! It's only like $80 bucks. Do it to save your tyres as well.
