    After my 2.5 lift I got new tires and went to Firestone for an lifetime alignment. They had the 40$ off discount. The taco drove ok and straight before I took it in. Afterwards it kind of steers to the right at 65mph within seconds. Prior to the alignment it’d go 12-14 seconds then steer left. Should this result be concerning?

    It’s a decent pull to the right. Not earth shattering when I let go of the wheel but decent. Before it’d track straight for while with a gradual lean to the left. I did go with the skinny tire setup 235/85/16 ko2 from the standard 16 size tires. Could they be a side effect?

    Rotate the tires then reevaluate.

    New tires don’t necessarily mean good tires.

    I once had to have a brand new tire shaved 2.5mm’s to get it to balance true and not have a “pull” to it.
