Help the car is pulling!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok every since I changed from winter to stock potenza, whenever I go fast faster than 60-70mph the car seems to pull to the left like sudden pull kinda thing I dunno. but at low speed nothing. I am kindda scared to loose control so I don't go fast anymore. I changed them couple weeks ago and the first tiem I drove it back from the tire shop I felt the pull but then I thought I was bing paranoid.


I changed the tires on the stock rims. my question is are all four rims teh same size because there is a possibility that the f99king tire shop has screw up the rear with front. I checked the sizes and the bigger one are at the right place (rear end). WHAT SHOULD do? HOW do I test to see if there is something wrong with the car. the car only has 10kmiles on it.


I tried going without hands but couldn't really tell !!!! could it be that these low profile tires compare to the winter trires I had on feel this way???? maybe its the ueven payment part of the roads that these tire grab and the car pulls ???

HELP !!! PLEASE

ps I have already booked with nissan for oil change

Well I do not know what model 350Z you drive. There is a reason for the profile.

only the 03-05 touring 18" wheels are the same round all 4, all the other wheel options for the Z, including the base 17" are all staggered either in width or offset

Its possible that the shop put the wrong tires on the wrong wheels, then put the wrong wheels on the wrong axles (yes it has happened to me).

WTF ok here is the thing. when they gave my car back I chekced and they had one big tire on the front, I imidately noticed and told the ****ing tech and he was like oh they are not the same SIZE . then he changed them. my car is a 2004.5 roadster with the 18s aluminum wheels I think its a touring it has two tone leather xeon bose etc...... I thought all the rims are the same thats why I only told him to change the one he had screwd .


Are you guys saying that if he mixes all the rims and then put the tires on and then put the big ones at the rear and small ones front my car is F888ucked.????

WHAT SHOULD I DO??? should I tell nissan what happend ??? how can they fix this tho????? like how would they know which tire goes where?????


Because I am 100% certain that they mixed and match the wheels and tires THOSE F99ucker at foutain tire.
