New tires/alignment seem right?

I will try to keep this simple and answer any questions if needing more info.

2015 Tacoma 37k miles on it that had factory bf 265/60r18 stock suspension ALL city and highway prerunner. Dealer said it was close to needing new tires but could wait a bit. Went ahead and went to discount tire ( gave me a good deal ) and was recommended from TW ( not a tire guy ) Michelin premier LTX. Bought 4 had installed and fine. They don’t do alignments but they refer to this other shop. Ok fine. On the way over there I thought it was pulling pretty good to the right. They check for free and if need alignment it’s $59 out the door. Now that I have had them for a couple days I feel that it’s still pulling but not as bad. If I hold my wheel 10 &2 it pulls. If I drive 50-75 and let go of the wheel it pulls to the right. When I change lanes I also feel like I get some vibrations ( small amount like teeth chatter.?) just don’t feel like I had that before even though I needed new tires. Maybe I’m paranoid or because of a different tire pattern? The rating on these Michelin’s are great but I don’t know if it’s me or not. I was thinking it would be like gliding even though it’s a truck. Maybe wishful thinking.

Is there anything other than alignment that could make my truck pull? Being that work was done at 2 different places and I do have it checked would it be safe to assume the alignment shop first? I have the photo of before and after alignment that I’ll try to upload if someone could look at and give advice. Thanks

 

Do58, thank you for your business. I would recommend going back to the Discount Tire store and have them re-check the balance. They may also swap the front tires from side to side to see if that makes a difference.

 

I did go back this morning. Rebalanced and said they also “moved some stuff”....... that being said, things seem to be better even though I only had about 10 mins of driving since this morning. They said let them know if there is any issues going forward with it. They were great. Thanks for the reply

 

While I'm sorry you had to make another run to the Discount Tire store, I'm pleased to hear the vehicle is driving better! Thank you for keeping us posted here
