you should shoot your mechanic lol....the car needs to be aligned the new tire has only a little to do with it because it is new. but if it is pulling to the right alot then you need to get the car aligned and if you don't your new tire will be worn in the wrong places and you will have to buy a new one. good luck and happy holidays=)
Yes. Most new tires have a warranty....get it replaced.Can a new tyre make my car pull 2 the right? Mr Garage man said it could and 2 give it 6 weeks to wear in?
Misaligned vehicle is probably why you had to get the tire replaced anyway.
is it your tires your talking about if you realine them it should be fine.Can a new tyre make my car pull 2 the right? Mr Garage man said it could and 2 give it 6 weeks to wear in?
Well it depends on whether you had them balanced or aligned when the new tire was placed on the car. Most mechanics suggest that you do this when you add a new tire so they wear the same as the others and don't pull to one side or the other. If it really pulls to the right I would ask about having them all aligned.
IT needs an alignment
It certainly can. It happened to me. I had the car aligned and after I put my brand new snow tires on, I had to hold the steering wheel turned a bit for the car to go straight. Indeed, it seems to be getting better with time.
Yes, that's why you should always buy at least two new tires, one for each side of the axle! This way they're both starting out the same! Your tire is as said, not worn in yet compared to the other one!
Yes, the new tire can make it pull to the right, but take it back and tell him to do an alignment, this is out and longer you go on the tire, you will have to replace it again..
Depends, If you have ONE new tire and the rest are worn out, then yes. Otherwise, its a load a B/S...
Try having you're Tires balanced. If that doesn't work, have them check the Alignment !!!!
You should also match the Tires.
Pulling (not drifting) is not caused by a new tire if the tire is the same as the others. Pulling is caused by:
a) Bad alignment or unbalanced tire if it pulls while the car is simply driving
b) Bad bearings (you will hear a rumble or grinding also ) This can happen while driving or while stopping.
c) Bad Brakes (if it pulls when you step on the brake pedal)
d) Bent wheel... you should also feel this thru the steering wheel as a vibration.
e) A bad tire. Some tires simply are not round or are bulged on the side.
Now if it DRIFTS and there is a big difference in the treads (one new, one really worn down) this might happen. Have the tires rotated and see if it still happens. If it goes away then he is correct. If it is still there see the list above (and think about maybe a new mechanic or buy your tires and tire servicing at a tire shop that deals with this all the time).
misalignment can cause it to pull, but it could also just be that the tires weren't all balanced correctly. get them balanced and re-aligned, and if it still does it you may need some of the other tires replaced too.
you should make suret they balanced the tires. it's also recommended that you have your wheels aligned regularly and especially when you change tires.
Yes. I had 1 new tire placed on the front of my car. Because of the tread differences of the 2 front tires. it does pull. It is better to replace 2 tires each time than 1 at a time to have equal tread. It is also better to have the new tires for the first 6 weeks be placed on the back and not the front. The reason I found out that this is is in case of any tire defectiveness. It is safer if a new "bad" tire goes out on the back than on the front where you steer. Once they are broke in after about 5 - 6 weeks, then have them rotated to the front.
Hope this helps.
There is such a thing as "radial pull." Of course you should have a balance and alignment, however, in some cases it will still pull to the side.
Don't wait 6 weeks for it to "wear in." All you're doing during that time is scrubbing tread off.
Make them replace the tire, and invest in a second tire of the same type at the same time. Align it again. If this doesn't solve the problem, go find a more competent garage.
Not likely.
The most common overlooked problem is low tire pressure.
Just replacing a tire\tyre will not change alignment.
Now, wrong tire size could make a difference if both front tires are not the same size.
Check your air pressures. It's easy, and cheap to do.
You already answered your own question.
You had ONE (1) new tire installed on the front axle. This is going to have more tread than the other tire on the front axle meaning it will have a larger overall diameter. That means it will not rotate as many times over the same distance. This new tire may not even be the same brand/model as the older tire, which will only makes things worse.
In other words, of course it pulls.
Forget all that stuff above about balancing, alignment, brakes, etc. You have mismatched tires on the front axle. That is more than enough to cause the pull, especially if the pull did not exist before you replaced the one tire but did immediately thereafter.
If you want the pull to go away you have 2 choices.
1. Get another, matching tire.
2. Rotate the rear tires to the front.
yes it can make it pull like a train hit it. always buy tires in a set aleast 2 and stick to a quality tire like a bf goodrich.
Did it pull before you bought the new tire? When you brake, does it want to go to one sode ot the other, or does it favor one side? If the above mentioned has happened, it also could be a brake failure. If it is a Chrysler car, go to http://www.allpar.com. You can read some of the forum questions, but if you want asnwers on a particular problem, you will have to register with them. It is all free, and very helpful.
yes it can and don't wait for it to wear in that is crazy.. have a good technician check ur suspension to see why its pulling.. let it wear in, man this guy is really way off. about like renting a wet suit and...
