car pulls hard to right when given gas

Have a problem with my evo pulling hard to the right when I give it gas to say, pass somebody. But, when im just driving in a straight line it holds true. Already had it aligned and all that. Any suggestions on what it is? And it only started doing this after I blew the 2 left side tires out on a divider curb when some cut me off at a light, before then i didnt have this problem.

its the tires. swap the tires that are new on the same axle. (rear or front) may have to have 2 tires switched depending on if they are directional tires.

The other thing to do, besides rotating tires, is to put the display into S-AWC mode and make sure that the AYC isn't doing anything crazy.

Theyre used tires and both sets have about the same amount of tread wear. Theyre 2 differwnt makes of tires...

Then I'd do as suggested above. Personally, I'd put the two new tires on the front of the car, even if they're directional. Directionality really only has an effect in rain, so go easy in rain until you can wear them down closer to the others.

Or put the new ones on the rear and go to an autocross and drift a few pin-turns. That'll wear them down quickly.

edit - my post crossed with the immediate previous ... who the heck sold you mismatched tires for an AWD? In any event, you need to match the tires at each end at a minimum.

Doubtful if the car re-aligned easily. But I shouldn't assume anything. How far out of alignment was the car after whatever happened to blow the left-side tires?

It's the wear pattern in the tires... Swap them like I said.
