Hi there,
A while back I hit a curb (kinda hard) and blew out my passenger front tire. Well I bought the same tire and had it put on...my car had prolly 5-6K on it then, and seemed to pull to the right a bit. Was like, oh well...
Got the tires rotated another 2K or so later and it kinda went away. It was more enjoyable....however, now at 10,8K I got the tires rotated again, (the new wheel is back up at the front again) and it seems to be pulling more that way...
Is it the tire? I mean I only had so little mileage on it then, that a new tire would do this...or did I screw up alignment?

thats your tires i know with my tires on my mustang i cant rotate them because how they were wearing if i move them around it pulls right away but put em back and its fine so yeah its the wear of the tire(s) causing your car to pull to either side

AH! I am having the same kind of problem.
My alignment was out for a while (hit a curb too!), and the tires wore wierd in the front.
I recently got two new ones in the back (had a blow out), and now the car darts really hard to and fro.
Think I should purchase 2 new ones for the front?

you have a few options acually chris, you can have fun with tire rotating, try putting a new tire on the passanger front and a worn tire where that was ( dont put 2 worn tires on the same side of the car always swap opposite sides in that situation ) that could balance it out if that doesnt work could just have fun moving the tires around seeing what makes the best ride and keeps you best from pulling to the left or the right. Also with the mustangs from suspension ( i was told this by a dealer ) it is sensitive to roads. almost like nascar racing it gets in the grooves of the road really noticably and pulls to whatever direction even if your just driving straight. or your other option is just buy two more tires and call it a day
