Wheels

Post by Pugman406 »

For the past few weeks my pug has always been pulling to the left, today i swopped it with the other front one, now it pulls to the right.

Have i got a dodgy wheel?

Thanks

Did the tyres stay with the same wheels?

It's proberbly just an unmatched pare of tyers on the frunt,
one make/modle of tyer will have a differant rolling resistance to another and can give these syimtoms.
If you have two tyers the same put them on the frount and see what happens.
On the other hand if they are already the same you may have one that's dameged internaly (from hiting a kerb ect).
I asume you have checked the tyer presures already as that is the first thing to look at.

It had two new front tyres a few months back. Anyway, had the drivers front wheel (the problem one) swapped with drivers rear, so different wheel on the front but same new tyre, matching the other front. All seems fine now.

Thanks for ur help.

I think I'd want to see what was wrong with the tyre before it went back on my car...
