[QUOTE=Zeppelin;3442079]Did any of your previous cars have low profile tires? I know the stock 225/45/17 tire is not low profile by some standards but these tires and others of shorter sidewalls will tend to pull the car towards the slope of the road. I think you have proven that it is pulling to the low side of the road whether it be right or left.
Sorry to say this may be normal.[/QUOTE
That is correct, but it pulls to the right a lot more than it does to the left. When your street is relatively straight with little or no tilt, the car still steers to the right. I have to push the wheel to the left in order for the car to stay straight.

Only time is pulled was because the tires didnt wear evenly because i drove with a bad alignment. The tires straigtend out once they wore evenly.
he needs to fix his caster...lol i put on the other post. Either that he has defective tires..with whats called radial drag.
I had them once with a bad set of pirelli i bought before made in turkey. It was my one and only time ever buying pirelli tires.

I already posted the caster specs on the first page. I even changed out my suspension with coil overs and my car still drives straight without an alignment. I'm running on 235/35/19 tires.
