wheresmypistons?

My 04 RX8 pulls a little to the left. I've had the alignment checked and the rotors checked, everything looks fine. Could the aftermarket Axis wheels be causing this? I had a friend tell me that sometimes the wheels are warped and you have to get them reshaped...is this correct? Could it just be the tires?

Thanks for any help.

Could be tires....could also be tramlinning.....if the tires are wider than stock there is a tendency for the car to pull in ruts more than usual...

Makes sense, it seems to pull more in ruts actually, like if I change lanes and catch a small rut.

What is tramlinning?

What you have...wants to pull when crossing ridges in the road


Comes from when you drive along tram lines and the car wants to flail around....

Toe out + wide tires = your car will pull in the direction of every rut or ridge in the road. The more exaggerated toe and width become, the more exaggerated the sensation as well. On a smooth road if your car pulls neither way then you're fine.
