Tire Change Help



I removed the Blizzaks today and put the Yoko's back on.
Yes there will not be any more snow in Ontario this year!
After putting the Yoko's back on I noticed a definite pull to the left. 
I remounted the Yoko's and still have this pull.  The tires are balanced 
perfectly and air pressure dead on. 
Where is the pull coming from?

I had a similar problem on a BMW that I use to own.  I had new tires put on the
car and they worked great, the car tracked great.  Three months after I put the
tires on, I rotated them back to front.  After that, I had a big pull to one
side.

I went back to the tire dealer and he performed a check balance of the tires,
all good.  I went back home and put the fronts back in the back again, and the
car tracked correctly.  The tire dealer then told me it was most likely a broken
belt in the tire.

I tried to get them to take it back, but then the car got totaled on Valentine's
day (a red BMW got hit by an UNINSURED motorist named Jason Valentine, what are
the chances?).

You might want to rotating tires and try again.  It is my understanding that if
you have a broken belt in the tire, when it is on the back it will not have
nearly the effect of having a broken belt on the front.

Good luck.
