So I got set of Rota Svn 18x9.5 with brand new tires that I bought from a member on here. The wheels are still brand new but my car started to pull the right ever since they been on. I have had 2 alignment done to the car at 2 diffrent places, after an alignment it would drive straight for a couple days the started to pull the right again. I don't see anything wrong with the wheels nor the tires as they are still so new. It's really annoying especially on a Evo, can anyone point something out please?? Could it be a balancing issue or something else? It drove straight with my stock wheels even with 2 difrrent brand of tires. Thank you for any info.

 

Perhaps misbalanced?? Any vibrations?

 

no, no vibration

 

Could be an imbalanced wheel in the back, you wouldn't notice vibrations from that. One of my rear stockers doesn't balance for whatever reason, and it pulls to whichever side you put it on.

 

these are all worth checking out, but it could be the tires (happened to me with brand new star specs). in my case, the alignment was spot on, tires were balanced, but it still pulled. eventually found that swapping the tire from one side to the other made the car pull the other direction. it's an easy check.

the only thing is that this wouldn't take a few days to show up, it would be there from the start.

 

sounds like a tire pull
try rotating and see what happens

 

An imbalanced tire wont cause a car to pull. It is possible that the tire is defective (tire pull).

Try rotating the tire to the other side of the car (if unidirectional) and see if it pulls the other way

 

^^yeah that.. try rotating the fronts to the back and if it goes away then you have a bad tire. Tires can have a shifted belt which can make the tire pull.

 

i will have to question your alignment shops.

im suspicious you didnt mention your alignment specs, which means the shops are mom and pop shops or sts tire low quality places with techs who barely know how to do oil changes lol.

also my mechanic told me if i go to another alignment shop, you WATCH them do it. they are super lazy and will take shortcuts all the time. even IF you get the spec print outs, they do it before tightening the bolts down. tightening down throws off the alignment lol. my mechanic demonstrated to me as he explained things in detail, he's awesome.

 

Thats how you **** off a tech. You'd have to be a real bastard to go through the trouble of loosening the adjusters to fake a print out, and not get them in spec!

 

I have the star spec on the wheels also...brand new. When I first put on the wheels i noticed my alignment was out because the steering wheel tilted about 4 degrees to the right. So my only option is to get new tires??

 

I agreed with you on this, I think one the tire is defective but how can you find out which one it is?

 

move one tire at a time!!!

 

my vote would be a misbalanced wheel, all 4 tires the same yea?

 

a balance problem wont cause a pull
just a vibration
