Would bad tires cause my car to pull to one side?

[karmad]

Hey i just got an alignment and my car was pulling to one side..would my tires be the cause mind you i just had my passenger axle rebuilt, should i have just gone new?

[$4c@b]

how badly is it pulling?

are all your tires inflated to the same pressure?

I would probably think that the tires would be the first place to start if the car is pulling, and especially if they are car.

As it was mentioned already make sure your tire pressure are up to manufacturer's specs, wich can be found on B-pillar on a sticker I beleive. And if you suspect your tires you can try rotating front to rear and see if that makes pull go away.

Tires have nothing to do with alignment why did you not get new tires first if they are bald?

Wat are the psi requirements for 18's?

225/40/r18

Should be in the tire, no? Maybe thats min/max.

Are you checking for the pull on a very flat surface? I know a lot of you americans have sweet roads... here in Canada.. we have pretty heavy tire channels in most of our roads, so any tires larger than oem can pull quite a bit....

Try about 40psi, check your "max tire pressure" on the tire and make sure that doesnt exceed it

On my MB C-class I run front 225/40 R18 32psi, rear 255/35 R18 34 psi

It's caused a radial pull - and is caused by the belts realigning themselves.
