Probably tire pressure, but could be lots of things. Check the tire pressures first. If that doesn't fix the problem you'll need to consider other things, but this problem is almost always due to uneven tire pressures (front or rear).

If you not recently bought new (rear) tires or had to buy 1 because of a puncture and now you're running old & new on 1 axle.... I guess its...
tire pressure.
Check all four (4) of them when cold.
While you're doing that check your engine oil level too.
Make a weekly routine out of that.

This happened to me right after I got 2 new rear tires. After checking tire pressure first and then on to taking it to the dealership to have the suspension looked over (replacement of a broken end link on rear sway bar and new CV boots didn't resolve the problem), we tried driving it on the race tires....no problem with pulling. We traded the new rears in for another set (same tire brand/model) and that resolved the problem. Must have been a manufacturer's defect.

I noticed this on the interstate one night heading home from work...
Next morning, I was going to check my air pressure and inflate them (while cold)...
TOO LATE! Flat rear right tire...

THANKS FOR ALL THE INFO I CHECKED THE REAR TIRE PRESSURE AND THE LEFT REAR WAS 6 POUNDS LOWER NOW ALL IS GOOD
Another thing new owners need to be aware of is the importance of checking the oil at every gas stop. Some S2000's use a fair amount of oil on a regular basis, some will consume it sporadically, and some use little or no oil between changes, but it's important to check the oil level on a regular basis.
