I got my car aligned today because it was pulling really bad to the right after i hit a tire in the road. The shop said it was out of adjustment and adjusted it to stock spec's. They said my car would still pull to the right because i have radial wear. What exactly were they talking about and whats causing it? The tires are a year and a half old. Will i need tog et new tires or will these be ok for another year thats when i plan to buy new tires.

 

There's no such thing as "radial pull"!!!! I thought this legend went away in the 70s, when people finally got used to radial tires in general.

Swap the tires from left to right. If the pull stays the same, it isn't the tires. If the pull moves, you need a set of tires; doesn't matter how old they are or how many miles they have on them, they're wasted in other ways.
