Hi, Had my car mot'd and serviced at main dealer recently , they said front tyres were reqd so i authorised them , ever since they have been fitted the car wants to pull to the centre line when accelerating , this is very tiring as its handling used to be A1! I took it back and they have done the tracking front and back for free, but it still hasn't cured it , before I take it back again has anyone any suggestions??..........could the tyres really have changed the handling from great to poor??

Get them to balance the tyres & check yourself that all the nuts are tight.
Sounds like the tracking is out to me. This happened to me once when I had my tyres changed, I took it back to Kwik Fit and they rebalanced it. Complain to them that you've already brought it back once as its not really good enough!
have they pit the right profiles on them,if too big can seem like its pulling?

Right been in touch with the main dealer who put the tyres on , I said its still not right after they did the tracking, so what can they suggest ?? they were flummuxed as what to do , so I said I will take it in on tuesday , they can have it all day and they can investigate it , meanwhile I decided to swop the new tyres to the rear and it has solved the problem so , even though they are new tyres, they must be faulty ?? anyway its still going in on tuesday and they can change the obvious faulty tyres.... I am glad I found what was up with it anyway ........its back to being the perfect handling car again ....

Thanks for your replies..
