    Hi everyone! After swapping out my winter set to my summers...I noticed that the truck was pulling left slightly. I went in to get an alignment (Tires Plus) 2 times and it still pulls left (front desk said it may be crown of the road...but i doubt it). I did some googling and some people mentioned to swap the front tires with each other...unfortunately, it still pulls left. Curious if ya'll may have any ideas as to what may be wrong. Planning to check tie rods tomorrow and possibly balance tires (could be the problem) as they were from the previous owner and may not be balanced.

    I'm hoping it is the tires but I'm planning to not purchase new summer tires until next year. When I had my winters tires/wheels on, I never had this problem.

    Haven't tried to drive in reverse for long besides backing out of parking spots....so I can't tell if it pulls when in reverse. I will attempt to reverse tomorrow and see if it pulls.

    Im sorry, I was just being a smart ass.

    If it was fine before the tire swap, and with only changing that, it suddenly has an issue, I'd say you have isolated the problem?

    I somewhat had a feeling lol but couldn’t 100% tell if you were trolling or not haha
    After the tire swap, I did do all pads/rotor swap and I just wasn’t sure if I did something wrong or not. I’m assuming it’s the tires and balancing them will solve the problem as the tread on them are somewhat still good but uneven in some areas.
