    Did my first tire rotation of my General Grabbers ATX today at 5K. Front to rear / rear to front. No crossing.

    There was no pull before and the truck drove straight and true. (Alignment done not too long ago In October)

    Now that the rear tires came directly to the front, the truck pulls mildly to the right.

    I’m thinking that I may need to just wear them in for a couple hundred miles because the tires are in a new position they haven’t been in before.

    or... I might diagnose if I have radial pull in one of them tires now up front.

    do you think I should try switching the two fronts left to right / right to left and see if it pulls to the left?

    debating if I should hope to wear them in untill it drives straight or diagnose it further.


    You thoughts? Thanks guys in advance

    Swap the fronts if you think it will help. Otherwise you might just have to wear them in.

    That’s what I’m thinking. Just to wait and see a bit to see if it’ll wear in. maybe I’m stressing it unnecessarily

    Sometimes it happens. Check air pressure and drive it a few weeks and let the tires wear in. I would have your alignment checked tho.

    Right. Pressure is equal and good to go. Alignment seemed no issue up until post rotation judging by going from no pull to some pull. My guts telling me they just need to wear in for the new position they are in

    Yea but... from experience a slight misalignment can be hidden by the tire wear. I would just run them like it is but just letting you know.
