Wheel pulling

[attrapereves]

Took the car in for an alignment today. The car was still in alignment, but a tire rotation seemed to fix the pulling issue. I guess I should have just got the tires rotated first.

Why would tires with only 6000mi on them cause pulling like this?

Did you check tire pressures? A tire's tread can cause this also if the pattern isn't in line cause it to want to walk in one direction.

Yup. Pressure is good.

Darn. If only someone had suggested that..............

Tires can be bad out of the factory. They can also be damaged from impacts, driving with low pressures, sitting still for long periods, etc. Occasionally a tire pull will not get worse, but often it is indicative of a separation which will worsen (or fail). What brand of tire are they? Cheaper tires are far more likely to have leads and balance issues.
