P5 pulls hard to the right..... need help

[westerboyz]

For about 3 months now mmy p5 has been pulling to the right. Started out a slight pull not too bad so i didnt think much of it. Now its to the point where if i let go of the wheel it rips to the right and will swerve into the next lane very quickly. Im sure its the front right bc the tire is almost completely bald now and the f-left isnt too bad. What do u guys think.... also im planning on getting new tires today so help with choice i called somee tire stores and they said they wouldnt put 205s on ?

Sounds like your car is out of proper alignment. Get one done when you get your new tires.

now i just need to find a relatively inexpensive good summer tire (im in Florida) alot of people are moving to the 205. advantages? disadvantages? and also what about the stores not willing to put 205s on

I have a set of Fuzions HRI or PRI something to that effect and they seem to be decent and prety cheap to. They to me are a hell of a lot better then the Toyo Proxies TPTs... now those are seom scary tires. IMO.

Buy your tires from tirerack.com or tires.com and have an independent shop put them on. That is what I have done for years.

How much do you want to spend per tire?

The nice thing about FL, is, well, you don't really need a "Summer" tire. You can use the same tires year round here. Get yourself something sticky, but still provides good traction in the rain and has a decent tread life.

I am now running on a 205 tire. Came from stockers. I can not believe how much better the car sticks now!! I REALLY am excited about getting my new suspension setup!!

As to your car pulling, get yourself an alignment and you should be good to go.

Yah right now im on kumho ecsta 711 195/50r16 and kumho ecsta supra 195/50r16 84h (directional) I dont know if these are stock or if my uncle put them on but im trying to find a tire to replace these i guess i want to go to 205s

and i need to get the alignment after i get the tires right?

Don't put on the new tires without having the alignment/front end checked out. You'll just ruin the tires if you do.

If possible, find a shop that'll do tires and allignment. It Shouldn't be too hard to find. have your new tires mounted and balanced and have em do the alignment all at the same time. That'll be your best bet. I wouldn't pu tyour new tires on and wait for an alignment. As stated, you'll cut the tire life down significantly

These are what I am currently running. However I got my tires a lot cheaper then the listing price via tiresplus.

Edit: they are a little higher at tires plus but imagine it evens out with shipping. That is if you pay shipping though tire rack or whoever.

checch your tie rods, could be the cause of the pulling

 

[westerboyz]

I went to goodyear and got everything taken care of. I got Blue Streak Stiletto 205/45R16 @ 66.95 ea. They seem to be doing pretty well so far. And my alignment was dead on so the pull was just from the worn out tires. The front right was about to peel apart and the others werent much better. Ill try to get pics up tonight. Thanks for the help...
