    Well I took my truck in for the alinement and they they got it close to specs but told me that I have a little radial pull to the right. It must be after the alinement was corrected because I didnt notice it or maybe I didnt look for it right after I got the tires mounted Saturday.

    The service manager at the dealership said that it was a tire tread problem and go back to Discount tire, I guess a tire maybe bad?

    Heres my alinement sheet, how does this look and can it be a tire problem and nothing to do with alinement?

    Thanks for help!

    I'd be cautious about tire blame. In other words I'm not so sure that's the likely culprit thinking logically.

    What are your thoughts, should I take it in for another alinement and do you think they may have done a bad alinement because I have no clue how to read that sheet!

    Thanks

    I know a little about alignment but not enough knowledge to give a valid opinion either way. Didn't you JUST put the tires on?

    In your shoes that's the first thing I would do IF I didn't have a relationship with tire shop/ alignment guy. Second opinion

    My alignment guy had really good things to say about nittos. They do have quite a bit less weight than my BFGs

    I'd assume Nitto qc would catch a bad run of tires. I'll speculate that "one off" bad tires are rare.

    Yeah, just put the new tires on Saturday and got alinement today, I called Discount tire and told the guy and he said radial pull is very uncommon and hasn't seen that in this tire, he said bring it in and he'll check it out!

    I just hope they didnt jack the alinement up but the sheet looks ok front what little I know!

    Yeah, I hear you! I assume I could take it back to the dealer and ask for a realignment or go some where else and get another alinement but hate to pay twice!

    I know radial pull is very uncommon. That's why I'm a little confused. This is a brand new product (less than a year on market)
    Plus I was thinking they said it had a pull due to the pre alignment specs which made zero sense. Did they say how they came up with that diagnosis? Was it during wheel balance?
    I'd bring it in to discount and see what they say!

    I wouldn't take it to the stealer.

    Given where you live I'd ask around. Worst case there's probably a 4wheel parts center there. Not cheap though

    So you think I should take it elsewhere and get another alinement!

    After reading a shitload of stuff on this alienment issue and how the stealership service guy tells me after waiting 2 hours for the alienment and he tells me it went ok but that the pulls ever so slightly to the right and him saying that it's the new tires and a radial pull! We I have to call this FULL FUCKING BLOWN BULLSHIT, sorry for the harsh words but WTF really!

    So I will take it to discount tomorrow and explain what the asshat told me and if they move the front tire to the opposite side and it still pulls to the right, we'll then it's the alienment and not a brand new set of tires!


    The discount guy sounds right, it's a brand new top rated tire and one sure Nitto wouldn't ship out a turd!

    Anyway, thanks for letting me vent, if the tires are good then I'll have no choice but go back to the service guy at the dealership, stand in front of him and whip my balls out and let them hit the ground and bounce up in his face!

    The end!
