    Silly alignment question...

    I recent had to replace just one of my tires due to a leak so just changed that one. The new tire is on the front passenger side so is alot meaty then the rest which are pretty old. I noticed my car pulls to the right and I don't know if its because of bad alignment or because of just having one new tire on the front. Does it make a difference? Don't want to pay to have it aligned if its because of the tire. Opinions? Advice? I got the car recently so don't know if the alignment was already off or not. Thanks in advance!

    Generally, if you are a replacing just one tire on the front, it is highly recommended to replace both tires. If that is not an option for you, and the rears are in the good shape, do a tire rotation. You want the tires that are evenly worn down.

      ok but would having just one new tire throw off my alignment and make my car pull to one side since the new tire is on the front right?

        Yes, it could.

            you will also put uneeded wear on your diff. It's seeing that you are ALWAYS in a turn with mismatched tires on.
