JoeFromPA Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 OP - Did you ever cross-rotate your front tires? FYI - My current tires on my Civic SI, Falken Ziex 912s in 215/45/17 (non directional tires), pulled to the right strongly right after installation. I had just gotten an alignment at the same time, so my fear was they screwed up the alignment (shop should've never delivered it to me with this pull after a tire installation and alignment). Some recommended this, and I tried it: I just rotated the front tires to the other side of the vehicle. Worked like a charm. 23,000 miles later, I've never rotated them back and I've never had a pulling problem. Good luck! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Specb122 Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Joe, Thanks for the info. I have not had a chance to rotate them over to the other side yet. The pull is very subtle. Not even sure most people would even notice...but I notice every little thing. At this point I'm not sure if I'll have time before my trip tomorrow. I may just have them do it at the next tire rotation schedule and see what happens to the pull. I just hope it isn't a wheel HUB or bearing issue.

NutBucket Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Does my alignment specs look good? See above picture The shop I use always gets the toe to zero or maybe 0.01. I don't know offhand if the rear toe is what's causing your drift though. I kinda doubt it. At any rate, you certainly didn't overpay....if its a good alignment. Are you having any strange wear issues on your tires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubieBlkOut Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Firestone does lifetime alignments for $149 plus you can find a $10 off coupon online. They will do an alignment every 5000 miles as long as you have the car. I figure at $90 for you alignment, I get mine aligned twice and I am ahead. But I have found alignments for as low as $45 around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am one of the FEW people who actually rotate their tires OFTEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
