Tires causing torque-steer



Hi Guys:  I hope Rudy from Ohio is watching...  My car torque-steers with my
new Hakka 1's.  I noticed this shortly after installing them.  The car went
dead straight on the sumer tires (Yoko A-509s on 16" rims).  The Hakkas are
on the 15" OEM rims and when I step on the gas, the car pulls to the left.
Get off the gas and it settles out pretty straight.  My tire shop finally
got a replacement tire in yesterday.  They put it on the left front and no
improvement.  The shop said maybe it is a 'characteristic of these tires'.
I can't believe that! I don't think it is an alignment problem since the car
went straight on the other tires.  I'm thinking of rotating tires around to
try to isolate.

Any opinions?
