New Yoko SDrives are made in different places
I just got new Yokohama SDrives put on the rear and now the car pulls pretty hard on acceleration and deceleration. Tire pressures are the same, thats the first thing I checked. I did notice that one of them was made in Japan and the other was made in the US. I've checked the wheels, axle nuts, and looked for slack in the suspension. I'm thinking it has the be the tires. The Potenza RE960AS that were on there always tracked straight. These are damn scary on the 3-4 shift at speed, it wants to swap lanes almost.

I think if the tires came from different molds, then that is definitely your problem.
Only takes a few psi difference to make the car pull, so I'd imagine tires from different molds would be worse than unequal tire psi.

are the tires on the proper side of the vehicle given the directional pattern ?
