[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 95808, member: 456"] Ossie. many years ago I had a Range Rover and had new tyres fitted all round. A soon as I left the tyre fitters it was clear that something was wrong. The car pulled so strongly to the right that it would go up a steeply cambered road surface and cross to the other side of the road is if I let go of the steering wheel. I took it back and the changed the wheels, side to side. It then pulled hard to the left. It was just before Xmas so I drove up to Yorkshire and back again and took it back. They test drove it and agreed that it was unacceptable and despite the fact that by then I had done 600+ miles they changed the tyres free of charge. It seems that some tyres have manufacturing faults that at not easily visible. If you can't find anything else then it might be worth putting your front stand down and watching the pattern of the tread on the front tyre move relative to a fixed pointer as you spin the wheel. Let us know what you find as it could happen to any of us. [/QUOTE]
