Pulling to the right with winter tires on???

[Newf]

now that some of us got winter tires on, are you noticing if the car still pulls to the right? and are your winters properly balanced?

just curious. Mine has been fine anyhow.

i never felt that my car was driving to the right...and it feel the same with my winter tires

Yeah. You shouldn't have any problems as long as the tires are balanced correctly.

the only reason why I asked this was for the guys complaining that the mp3 was always pulling to the right, even after a wheel alignment. This is with the Dunlops on of course.

Now with winters on, do they notice any pull?

If not, then it's proof that the Dunlops are the cause of the pulling, and they can stop getting wheel alignments.

I've never had a problem personally.

Our cars will always pull to the right when you lay into the gas. if you look under the hood you'l notice that the engine is closer to the passenger-side front wheel well. The right drive axle is closer to the actual crank shaft then the left drive axle. B/c the drive line is shorter on one side, the car will pull to that side when you first start to accelerate. There isn't a cure for this that I know of. All of the front-wheel drive cars I drive at work pull to either the right or the left when you lay into the gas. But I'm not a mechanic, yet.

And you also have to keep in mind that the Sport 9000 tires that come stock have the highest traction rating possible AA. I'm not sure if the MP3 has posa-traction or not but if it does, the car is gonna go to the right like I stated in the post before this.

There is no posi-traction in the car, stock. There is an LSD available through Mazda Motorsports.
