Wheel Pull (ing to the right)

So, my car is pulling hard to the right, and after playing the back and forth game with Mazda trying to figure it out, they're saying it's my tires. Anybody else have this problem?

it could be tires. step one; is to make sure they are all inflated to the same PSI.

step two; is to look them over for condition/damage

step three is to rotate them and see if the pull moves/changes, if it changes/moves does something else, replace tires and recheck.

if rotating the tires doesn't help, it needs to have the suspension looked over; check the ball joints, etc, and then aligned

if you have an average Rx8, its never been aligned, AND you need at least 2 tires
