    You'll find that they pull ever so slightly no matter how you rotate them. I tried everything plus like 6 alignments and could never get rid of a pull to the passenger side

    I have the pro's. No issues with pulling. Damn they feel amazing on the rocks when you are aired down to 8 psi.

    ive heard mixed reviews on that! Lol. @tacomgee has them and doesn’t have a pull. Figured I’d give em a shot since every truck is different. Hoping I don’t!

    I've seen that truck around that same spot the last 2 or 3 times I've been at SFO. Must work there or something.

    I'm wondering if it's the added weight he has? I only had a skid on the front and some added weight in the back?

    A (slight) pull to passenger side is often due to the crown of the road.

    My son has been running ST Max on his second gen for a little over 6 months and loves them. If he had any issues, he would have called me on them... I was the one who told him to get them lol.

    He's up in WA.

    I tested that on back roads constantly. Always had a pull to the right even on the left side of the road. I loved the tires, and the pull was only annoying when I was tired and driving wasn't what I wanted to be doing. Otherwise it was a small nuisance for the size and type of tire

    Reason I asked if you weld.

    No place really to mount turn signals on Trail Gear. You could mount tabs... or here is what I did.

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...hing-for-approval.523955/page-4#post-19532292

    While it's bare metal and off the truck, without winch attached and everything is best time to do something about turn signals.

    Right on. Only reason I mention it is way back, like 20 years ago, I had a Grand Cherokee I bought in Arkansas when I lived back there. When I got back out to CA, it seemed like it started doing the same thing. Took it to the best shop in Modesto (at the time) and their best tech spent about 30 minutes looking at it. He handed me the keys and said there's nothing wrong with it, not going to charge you... it's the crown of the road. You're just not used to it becuse they don't crown the roads back in the south, like we do here.

    maybe. Saw this. Seems most don’t have an issue. Bought them from a shop chain I use to work at. Manager is my buddies dad. I’m sure if I have pulling they’ll help find a solution.

    Tule elk. Mom was no where to be seen. As of 2017 there was about 6,000 last I heard. Closest herd I know of near you is in Sunol. I was on a property we manage, Coyote Ridge.

    COPY AND PASTE BELOW:
    When the Europeans first arrived, an estimated 500,000 tule elk roamed these regions, but by 1870 they were thought to be extirpated.[2] However, in 1874-1875 a single breeding pair was discovered in the tule marshes of Buena Vista Lake in the southern San Joaquin Valley.[3] Conservation measures were taken to protect the species. Tule elk can reliably be found in Carrizo Plain National Monument, Point Reyes National Seashore, portions of the Owens Valley from Lone Pine to Bishop, and on Coyote Ridge in Santa Clara Valley, San Jose, California.

    Sent it to the machine shop to fix a stripped hole in the aluminum intake plenum, and it was misfiring.
