It's not the alignment. It's the tires. You need to take the 2 front tires that are on the front of the car unmount them and swap them from side to side. They call this radial pull and it's not that uncommon. I just got a brand new set of nittos awhile back and they had to be swapped from side to side.

Sometimes when you do have radial pull driving the vehicle will cause it to cure itself. However it doesn't always and it's annoying.

ahh, so is this more common with directional tires?

so basically i need to take my front right wheel and switch it with front left, even though it will be in wrong direction?

Glad it worked out.

No. Take it to the shop you bought the tires at. Tell them the problem. Tell them to remove the front wheels and tires and dismount the tires and swap to the other wheels. If they are directional this is what your will have to do.

I would assume running the tires in the wrong direction will make them pull weird. The radials have steel wrapping in the tire and swapping directions between sides will make then do funny things. My wife's car had it and my cat had it. It's not uncommon.

right on, actually i got these tires like 1.5 years ago from americanmuscle.com (mounted and balanced with the amr rims) so there's not much hope calling them at this point lol and tbh i hate buying tires online for these reasons but i didnt know back then, but im thinking for now its ok and maybe next year i can get myself some nice asymmetrical all season tires from a sears or the dealer or whoever gives the best price. and after they put it on i will ask them to sit for a test drive with me before i leave to cover all our bases, and if there is an issue it will be sorted out then

its so stupid, why do manufacturers even bother making directional tires when they do nothing but cause problems?? everybody should only make asymmetrical tires. it would suck so much if ya had staggered setup AND directional tires, you would pretty much need to replace each tire on its own every time something went wrong!!

Directional tires do serve a purpose especially in wet weather. Tires pump out water in the rain. Imagine running a pump backwards. Just make sure when dismounting and remounting tires, they stay on the same side.

I have directional and staggered. I replace the fronts when needed, both at the same time and I love it.

Having performance like I do comes at some price. And it is a pita at times.
