I don't think you are lonely anymore...there are more friends....you say your car always pulled to the right? I don't want to upgrade th 18" to see if that
is the issue. I am hoping it is just air pressure...but that was supposed to be the first thing they checked....?

we are entertaining the idea of trying different tires to see if there is a difference..[/b]


I think my 6 had other issues, which is what prompted my trade in. That would be weird, but not unheard of, if they didn't verify air pressure. I think Lee had a good idea, swapping sides and seeing if the problem follows the tire. If all else fails, just do what they do in that old Discount Tire ad, go throw a tire through their window.

Rotate the left side too- it could be a "radial push" versus a right side pull... Happened to me more than once on new treads...

May need to try a diff tire- sometimes they just are not happily "married". Had that issue on an Elantra with BFG's- switched to Kumho's and never had a problem. I see many 6's running around on Yoko YK520's- might be worth a try!

Maybe the new tires just exaggerated the effect? Who knows...at least it sounds like DT is working with you a little bit.

i'm bitch'n a bit....squeaky wheel....I had thought the same thing about the new tires exaggerating the pull....
my main concern is to make sure I am getting even wear from the start. I would like these to last for at
least a little while...
