Common question. The cause is USUALLY uneven tire pressures. If the tires and their pressures are correct, then it's almost got to be alignment.
Check the tire pressure first. Air is free, but alignment cost, so try the free stuff first.

You are being over charged. Even if you do have to pay for air, alignment still cost a little more.

Question? Other than causing an air leak and low pressure, how would a nail in a tire cause the car to "pull?"

OK, I see. A slow leak such as caused by a nail could produce the problem. One thing I have learned about my AP1 is that you can't tell a low tire by looking at it. Once, I looked at one of my tires and thought it looked "a little bit low." I put the guage on it and it registered 0 psi! Our W rated (or higher) tires have very stiff sidewalls, and are very near "run flat." But of course, they don't perform very well at all that way.

check your tire pressure!!!! i had same issues not long after my freaking tire ripped out like a donut. i realized my car was pulling to one side thought it was rain but wasnt' sure not even a mile later i saw my rear tire going faster than me and i had to pull over.
