    You buy the tires from Firestone? If you can get 'em to replace the tires under warranty that'd be the best thing.

    Failing that - you could have 'em set the alignment to induce a little counter-pull to the right.

    Failing that - just live with it. I had one car that pulled hard for like 20,000 miles until we bought our next new set of tires. I adjusted by driving it with my knee against the wheel on highway trips.

    I bought them from Discount Tires in TX. But American Tires out here is one of their sister companies so I have been working with them.

    Yeah I was thinking about your first option.
    For the second one, I already do that and I don't really notice it anymore, I just don't want to cause any long term issues to my truck.

    if its aligned right and it still does it, but if you switch tires around and it still pulls it sounds like something other than tires. Although i switched tired on my previous car and it constantly pulls left regardless the tire/alignment.

    Id try like said above, America's Tire is really good about their tire warranty exchange and should get you right.

    I just got aligned and i had a weird vibration but then i remembered i swapped front tires when i did my coilovers and now were good.

    I was jealous of Angel's remote reservoir's! :)

    Actually, it was more like one of those "I wanted to do that in the first place but didn't" kind of things. So far, I've done that twice on my truck. First was rear bumper, now the shocks. :annoyed:

    I also blame the group buy forum for stealing money from my wallet. That place is the :devil:

    There have been people in my Squadron starting to ask for permission to get second jobs outside of their military one. I've thought of it but that means I would have to be working nights or something and I don't know about that... I find it hard to take college classes on the side let alone be working.

    Yea, I went to college then joined the ROTC program and the National Guard. I was able to do all three and still have time for a job. Granted, I was suppperr busy, and there were times where I had to stop working depending on my class load. I took 15-19 units every semester, but I tend to work a lot better when I am busy. It keeps me organized and I don't procrastinate.

    I don't mind it while I'm working on it. But it would be a bummer to get some inside the cab by e.g. spilling some on the back of your pants while changing the oil, and then getting in the car to start it and move it.

    No wonder I don't see you too much. Thanks for the list, theres a few that catch my eye. I tried pulling muy hubs from the integra today to install extended lugs but instead of pulling the hubs i pushed the axle out, so tomorrow Im going to try a slide hammer.

    I haven't had a good shut in TV show marathon for a good while. last one I did was all the Star Trek movies, and that was only 2 days.
    I tend not to get out a whole lot just for the sake of saving money on gas. Or I'm working and when I'm done I just want to sleep.

    I try to wait for a season to finish before i watch because i hate waiting for the next episode. Except walking dead and Gamer of thrones those two shows were too good to wait.
    Last show i watched was Orange Is The New Back and i finished the season in 3 days. now I have to find the last season of Braking Bad.
