before they did any alignment they should checked the complete front end for any problem, like ball joints ect. you shouldn't have any problems with the car pulling to the left, or something is wrong. should have been corrected with the alignment. there is a reason way the car pulls to the left. if all's well with the front end, it a alignment problem.

you could be right, a bad tire could cause it.

I've had it happen before that an alignment was done, I drove away and immediately took it back because it pulled. They put it back on the rack and found the toe was off (after they had just aligned it). Bottom line is they made a mistake. It happens, take it back and ask them to recheck it.
