New tires & rims pull to the right
I just put winter tires and steel rims on my 2001 Accord coupe. I've
noticed the car seems to want to pull to the right now, and didn't before. The tires were on a different car last winter, is it possible the camber/toe was different enough on the old car that it's causing this one to track to the right? If that's the case, it should eventually even out as the tires wear to match this car's setup, right?

Re: New tires & rims pull to the right
Well they are a directional tire, so if that solves the problem should I
have them both remounted the other way around? Or would that just mean that it's a tire wear thing that will eventually go away?

If the alignment was off only front or rear on the original car, only one set should be worn, and at the very least, it should CHANGE the degree to which it affects your steering now. > "Tegger" <tegger@tegger.c0m> wrote in message > news:Xns99FAAE018C62Btegger@207.14.116.130... >> Jim Yanik <jyanik@abuse.gov> wrote in news:Xns99FAAB7912CBDjyanikkuanet@ >> 64.209.0.86: >> >>> "JM" <jmsn@ns.sympatico.ca.ns> wrote in >>> news:47532008$0$5277$9a566e8b@news.aliant.net: >>> >>>> I just put winter tires and steel rims on my 2001 Accord coupe.

This sort of problem does not just "go away". -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/

<inappropriate top-posting added, just to be a git> Of course, you could always take your car by a tire shop and have them give the tires a look - most should do it for free, and they'll know at a glance if there are any strange wear patterns. If the tires are good, you'll probably need to have the alignment done, and most larger tire shops can do this as well. > "JM" <jmsn@ns.sympatico.ca.ns> wrote in > news:47534064$0$5258$9a566e8b@news.aliant.net: > > > > <inappropriate top-posting corrected> > > >> "Tegger" <tegger@tegger.c0m> wrote in message >> news:Xns99FAAE018C62Btegger@207.14.116.130... >>> Jim Yanik <jyanik@abuse.gov> wrote in >>> news:Xns99FAAB7912CBDjyanikkuanet@ 64.209.0.86: >>> >>>> "JM" <jmsn@ns.sympatico.ca.ns> wrote in >>>> news:47532008$0$5277$9a566e8b@news.aliant.net: >>>> >>>>> I just put winter tires and steel rims on my 2001 Accord coupe. >>>>> I've noticed the car seems to want to pull to the right now, and >>>>> didn't before.
