It must be a boy!
Just had some Cooper STT 275/70R18's installed on factory rims and now I notice a slight pull to the left. What says the experts? Air pressure is 35 in both fronts. Never pulled with factoery tires. HELP!

 

Sounds like it might be a radial tire pull.

 

thats a little to much PSI per tire, i wouldnt go over 30

 

Pigs and redneck;
Thanks for the quick replies. Radial pull? Need a little more info on that> And Pigs, 30 psi??? Will this affect my TPS? Why 30 on these coopers-is this just a mud tire thing? I appreciate all your valuable info!

 

Try the air pressure first. If it still pulls, jack it up and cross the two front tires...or take it back and let them do it. If it quits pullin, or pulls HARD to the right, get rid of the right tire. Remember, it'll be the one that used to be on the left.

 

Cool, thanks!

 

i'm not experienced with bigger tires...yet but even with stock a little bit of wind will toss you around just throwin' that in there

 

Absolutely, wind can be a big factor. I'm just throwin out ideas with the tire pull thing. Since they're kinda hard to diagnose over the computer. LOL

 

Shoot. When i read the title I thought is was an Obama thread!

Don't forget about any crown in the road, though that would typically cause a pull to the right. Also, it's not inconceivable that your alignment got tweaked when the tires were mounted. So let's summarize:

1. Uneven air pressure
2. Too much air pressure
3. Bad tire
4. Wind on side
5. Crown in road
6. Alignment issue

Miss any?

 

Add in:

Check brake Calipers....one could be grabbing/hanging alittle more than the rest. You will tell from the pads and rotor will look warn-out more than the rest if this is the case.

Edit: noticed you have a 2.5" lift...did your axles shift alittle with the lift???
