Man, still owe pics.

Did get the brake rotor/pad install finished the other day.

It had a pretty good pull to the right so I got an alignment and the front tires balanced. Go to pick it up and now it pulls left. They say it is aligned perfectly and that the car is just made to pull left some. Did a little research and while yes that may be true I was thinking tire pull.

After work I pulled the front tires off and they had swapped them, that made me think it was the tire itself. Did a tire rotation (fronts to back, backs to front cuz the one pair is unidirectional) and now the pull is gone and the car drives straight as an arrow.

I think it may still be a balance issue because that one tire will not stand up. All 3 others stand just fine and roll straight, this one wants to fall to one side (same side) every time you let it go. Should I have them re-balance it to see if that fixes it?

Needless to say, I will be getting a couple new tires shortly.

Check your tire pressure in it. Could have way too much air, or a band could be broke on it. Also, if your car has any pull, it's supposed to be to the right and not the left. This way you're not drifting into on coming traffic

I plan on checking pressure after work tonight. I read (on this forum) that the car pulls slightly left to account for the crown of the road, which here in the states is to the right. Either way, it is straight now and I will be checking pressure for now and getting tires soon.

Okay, the tire that was causing the problem is at 31. Would 2 extra lbs cause this issue? Need to adjust all of them front left is 27.5, front right is 28, rear left is at 31, rear right is 29.

Thanks for the help.

Edit - went and inflated fronts to 29.5, rears to 26

I'm thinking about getting rid of my mustang gt and upgrading to an Evo X, I can always get another mustang down the road. Want to get a new 2014. The 2015's won't have recaro seats

put new tires on my daughters LS today. got 4 new Kumho Sense KR26's, 205 60 15. looks good. wider than what was on there and fills the gap in the wheel wells nice. I was amazed at what little "damage" was done to the plasti dip. got a little touch up to do, but nothing major at all.

That's cool man. Glad to see you finally made a decision. I know in a few posts you were back and forth about a few things. The car still looked good though
