radial pull..

i thought i was having a problem w/ alignment. I put on my 19" Rays Isotta a few weeks back(pics are in the making). The tires i cant remember for the life of me. Anyways, the car started pulling to the left, i thought it was alignment, but it came out to be radial pull. The service guy lifted the car and spun the wheels, we both noticed a semi-misrotation(i dont know what that means either) of the tire. Im having a hard time getting my $ back. But i will....any1 ever have this problem???

long time ago i experienced radial pull on a new set of pirelli p6. to verify the problems, i ran between alignment shop and tire shop a few times. alignment guy told me it was tire's problem (possbily radial pull), but tire store told me my ailgnment was off. after showing my proof of alignment result, the tire shop agreed to swap tires from left to right and see what happens. when i took it onto road, the car pulled in opposite direction. the tire shop finally agreed to give me a new tire. i had no problem afterword.

if your tires are still new, you might have a chance getting a replacement. good luck.
