Car Pulling to the left.

Hey guys, so i had new goodyear eagle sports put on A week ago. Today i just had the car aligned because of a pull to the left. They aligned the car and its still pulling to the left. If i dont turn the wheel by half an inch i would crash into a wall. What you guys think?

Honestly here is what has happend. I purchased this car several weeks ago from a neighbor. She was a california car that was barely driven. He brought it here to new york and literally put 4000 miles on it in 5 years garage kept. I bought it for $7500 with 70k miles a great deal.

The car had tires that were completley rotted and the steering wheel was in very bad shape. So I had my mechanic do a steering wheel swap and a tire change. I then noticed that the car was pulling to the left so I went and got an alignment today. It did nothing.

I am thinking when he put the steering wheel on he did not center it correctly? Is this possible? I mean they said it was dead on aligned today.

Yeah, when I swapped out my steering wheel last year I had to pull it a second time because it was a tooth off. Pull wheel and center it.
