Every tire I have owned for the jeep pulled one way or the other. My 35 MTRs pulled to the right. My 35 Trail Grapplers pulled to the left. Now my Toyo 37s pull to the right. Is this pretty normal for Toyos to pull right given the large footprint?

 

It seems strange that the tires themselves would do this. Have you tried swapping all your tires left to right? You'd think if the tires themselves were pulling, the pull would switch sides.

 

I have worked at many auto shops and dealerships and I am ASE certified.

I have had 4 set of Toyos and countless other tire brands on all my vehicles which the count is over 20 now...

I HAVE NEVER HAD OR EVEN HEARD OF A SET OF TIRES PULL ONE WAY OR ANOTHER...

I just bought another set of 37" Toyos and got my alignment done by a sponsor here on the forum and the shop manager told me it was normal for Toyos to pull dangerously to the right...

I didn't and still don't believe it.... They switched them all around and finally set my alignment up to pull to the left to compensate and then I found out they put well over 65psi in the front pass. tire and 31 psi in the rest!

Pretty upset... Had another shop look into everything and set my alignment up- all within spec and no pull or anything now!

If worst comes to worst let the shop do the alignment right after installing the tires and try can try every tire on the rack...

 

I had 33x12.5 Toyo MTs on my old Rubi. They were smooth and straight. Superb tires.

 

Tire balance and front end alignment are crucial. Our new car pulled right and had the front end aligned, all new cars are able to get a free alignment at the dealer. After the alignment it still pulled, they re-balanced the tires and all was good. So yes balance can attribute to pull.

On my TJ we had same issue, again a rebalance and a rotation of the tires solved the problem. Actually move the tires around a couple of times until we found the right combination.

Last thing to take note of. When everything is good you may still have a pull to the right, this is due to the crown in the road. Since most roads are designed with a crown in the middle and we drive on the right hand side the slope is to the right. This does a couple of things, first your right front brake will generally ware faster then the other brakes. The extra pressure and force of the down slope to the right wares that wheel first. Second, that slope creates a pull to the right. To test, drive down the middle of the road as best you can and see if the pull changes, and if you can safely drive down the opposite side of the road see if it pulls to the left. When driving down the left side of the road the slope with be to the left and pull that way.

 

Hmm. My 35" trail grapplers don't pull at all. They track straight down the road. You might make sure the air pressure is the same in all the tires as a starting point
