    i have the same thing going on... with 17s as well. mine doesnt exclusivly pull to the right, but i definetly have to be more aware or i can veer too far out of my lane... its like ruts have a greater effect than they used to or something...

    maybe its uneven pressure... when i put my 17's on... i could barely go straight...make sure you have the recomended pressure then go from there...maybe an alignment

    Yeah check the tire pressure first. If that doesn't help then swap the front wheels (if you don't have directional tires) or front and back if you do have directional tires. When you have the front up, try to spin the tires. It should spin with some effort but not too much. If it doesn't spin or take too much effort to move it, the caliper might be binding. If everything else fails, then it's alignment time.

    I have the same problem with my new 15's- I thought it was bad struts (replaced them and strut rod bushings-and ball joints-alignment) and it still pull like mad -especially when I am slowing down-(if I dont have my hands on the wheel when slowing down it will pull hard to left and sometimes to right but not as bad) I basically have to fight to keep it straight-
    I have gotten so sick of spending money on it and they say they cant find nothing wrong-So its time to sell it!!!

    I even put on my old 14 inch wheels (never pulled) and it still pulls now-

    I give up!!

    If this only happens on uneven road, then it could just be your new higher speed rated treads gripping the road.
