front wheel pull.

I should have posted this earlier.When I took off my 22"s to replace with the 24"s the front right tire had a little where on the inner side of the tire. I have the 24"s on now and I did buy them used. There is no odd wear on the tires and the truck pulls to the right. But when I hit my brakes the truck doesn't pull either way. I got an allignment twice and it still happens. They used the laser allignment machines and the system shows a perfect allignment. Any thoughts?

Tires can also cause a pull. Swap sides and see if you start pulling to the left or the pull goes away.

If you can not go side to side, try front to back and see if the pull changes.

Screw-Me-05, if your steering wheel is ****-eyed, you need an alignment. If you had one, they should have adjusted the wheel to the proper position.

Yes, directional tires. The wheel also pulls to the right. But supposedly the laser allignment said Im good. Its not too bad, I gonna wait for tires too. I just don't wanna mess up the brakes. I might check out the Firestone coupon I saw on another thread.
