Radial Pull?
I have a 2009 Yaris. I am trying to find the problem that is causing it to feel "off" it feels like it leans but I am hypersensative to change. I think it was doing it a little before I got an alignement and new tires and now more so. I notice it mostly when changing lanes and turning corners. The two front tires are new and have 600 or so miles on them and the back two tires have 50,000 miles on them. Could this be radial pull? Input would be helpful as would a suggestion of a place a might go to in the metro atlanta area for good advice that want charge me like crazy.

OK..... you got two new tires on the front so, you are most likely getting "tread squirm" that you may be interpeting as leaning.
The tread squirm that is present in most new tires is not that noticable if you replace all four at once but, it can be a problem if you only replace the front. |

as long as the tires are the same on the same axle it shouldnt matter
if it doesnt pull dont worry about it. you should adjust to the car, not the other way around |

There is a lot of tread difference between 600 and 50,000 miles. Get more new tires and see what happens.

Is this the same issue from your other thread? If so, then the answer is undoubtedly that you have worn tires on the back, sticky on the front. Get more new tires, less new threads. |
