Car pulls to one side

[trcsbrian]

Ok guys, i tried the search feature, but its not loading i keep getting an error.

Like my title states, my car pulls to one side pretty bad. It used to pull slightly to the left, but that didnt bother me too much. Today I changed the 2 front tires cuz they were in really bad shape and i was afraid for them to explode or something like that down the highway so i changed them. I went to some little shop in my neighborhood and I got them changed for 20$ each for used ones + 10$ for balancing both of them. Anyway, they changed them and now the damn car pulls pretty bad to the right. What went wrong? I was considering going back (I really should've), but I was with my grandfather and he was like nah, its not too bad. I just drove about 20 miles down the highway and it turns out its pretty bad and im struggling to stay in between lanes. What could've went wrong? How to fix? Suggestions?

#1 make sure that the tread on all tires is even. i kno that can cause some pulling, but it shouldnt be that bad. also get an alignment, but like i always say, wait and see what the rest of the people have to say.

Could be tire wear, or your camber or toe is misaligned. Get an alignment done, unless you plan on lowering your car soon, then wait until that is done then get an alignment

I dunno and im not familiar with tires or anything but some tires have threads that only go one way. I think the shop knows this but you never know some one elses judgement. check that out and probly what other people say. My advice is free.

springs are also an issue.

[trcsbrian]

springs are new... and i think it just has something to do with the tires because before it pulled to the left and now it pulled to the right. I just wanted to know if there was something more to it or if theres another fix besides getting new ones.

Could it maybe be just tourque steer?

check your brake calipers

[hondajeff]

well, i've owned 23 vehicles and when they pull left or right, it has NEVER been the springs. Unless one spring is completely broken, I just can't see springs causing it.
Brake calipers are out as you would have mentioned that it pulls while stepping on the brake pedal, right?

I believe it to be the TIRES u just purchased.

they were worn to the setup of the vehicle they came off of. Now they have to break in to the way yer Honda plants its FEET on the ground. the same can happen when u rotate yer tires. Maybe just give it some time.

BTW, if tire tread patterns are different left to right or tirewear is quite different left to right this can cause wander that may not correct itself over time. Let yer tire guy know yer concerns NOW and if after a week or so, if the pull is still, try a different tire or two.

Good luck eh

Unless the tires is completely ate up from excessive toe in or out it shouldn't cause the car to pull left or right. Generally bad tires, don't cause the car to really pull left and right, unless they are completely screwed then let's face it you could definitely see that. You might want to get your alignment checked out, does it seem to get worse when you hit the brakes? If so you might have a stuck caliber and might need to have that looked at.
