I got a nail in my tire the other day and I thought that was responsible for the right pulling feeling that I was getting at speeds above 35 MPH .

I took my ride to the tire store and got it fixed. After which I took it to the freeway for a fun run and noticed that I still had the pulling sensation to the right.

About 7k miles back I had my alignment corrected by Big-O tire in Scripps Ranch, San Diego. I am wondering if they did not tighten the bolts correctly.

It almost feels like the back right tire is moving forward during acceleration. I have tried to wiggle the tire and checked all of the lug nuts and there is no movement.

I am wondering if any of you have experienced this with you car.

Thanks in advance...

The normal cause of this problem is that all tires are not at 32 psi. Car is sensative to high/low pressure in an individual tire.

MadDogSkip,

Did you check your tire pressures after getting the tire patched? It's possible that the tire guys either didn't fill it up, or filled it up too much. One of your tire pressures is probably off.

Whew... I will check this out today. I really hope you got this one right as it drives me crazy when there is an undetermine problem that I can't fix.

I'll get back as soon as I find out and let you know the results.

Take Care...

been there... as suggested above, had a couple tires down a few pounds- corrected it and new car again.

another suggestion- get the car aligned for aggressive driving. makes an incredible difference!

You need more air in your back right tire or you have a slow leak. It happened to me last month and I felt like an idiot when the Honda dealer told what it was

Just to update you all.... It was a tire leak. I feal soooo silly.

Oh well, that's why I subscribe to this forum.
