has 4 new tires from Sam's (Michelin) so took it to Sewell and they said it needed an alignment. So to avoid any more BS I let them do the alignment (120 usd). When Sewell gave me the printout from the alignment, I could tell they barely did anything (two minor adjustments). The car still pulls to the right so they said the tires needed to be rotated (directional tires), another $50.00 usd. So I said I would take it to Sams and have them rotate the front tires. After all this BS, the car still pulling to the right (I have to compensate to the left to keep car straight), so I took it back to Sewell. Let's see what they say now.

What makes a car pull the right? Everything was fine until recently. No accidents, no nothing.

Thanks mates.

Tire Pressure
Uneven Tire Wear (not applicable since your tires are new)
Alignment (toe, thrust angle)

....or just bad road..???

Crown on the road. Try driving on a flat surface. Like a parking lot.

I was having this same issue. Just bought brand new tires, had a $120 alignment done, the wole shabang.

I realized you need to keep your tire pressure EXACTLY the same, I mean within 1psi. I found this corrected the issue about 90% but I am also still having issue with the car pulling to the right. Maybe it just needs more precise camber tweaks during the alignment.

Do you have a print out of the alignment report to show us?

I purchased my IS250 about 5 months ago with the same issue. Took it in and had alignment also. Still had issue. Was told my tires had uneven wear, which the did, so I put on a new set of tires. Still had issue, but had a little different road noise. Took it back to tire shop to have tires looked at. They told me both front wheels were bent. Never told me that when I had tires put on. Anyways, took it to a wheel shop and had both wheels fixed. Now drives straight as a arrow. May want to have that checked. Hope this helps.

Apart from tires. Pulling problem may have caused from:

1. Worn suspension/steering joints and bushings. Check all those joints, especially ones concerned with steering system.

2. Seized brake calipers. Uneven wear of brake pads (left and right side)

3. Worn wheel bearings

you just got a bad batch of tires. ask sewell to throw a set of wheels on from one of their rentals and have them drive the car with you.
