new tires =now pull to the right

Just installed new Toyo MT's 285/75/17 on stock wheels without a leveling kit and let go of the wheel and it turns to right is this normal?

Its also a little squirmy when driving.

Common. Get a Carli or Thuren adjustable steering stabilizer. It's Toyo radial pull you're experiencing.
Squirm will disappear in about 800 miles.
They're great tires,very strong and relatively quiet.
The pressurized steering stabilizer will be trying to expand,inducing a left pull and will negate the Toyo pull.
Sounds kinda complicated but it'll do the job and cushion your handling too.

I agree! This is a very common issue that can be remedied by following Danderson's recommendation.

You could swap the right front with the left front and give it a try, see if it moves. Or swap them with the rear. We had a car with issues at the Cadillac dealer, CTS-V or something. Guy bought brand x tires from someplace else instead of what Cadillac called for and came to us to complain. We swapped front tires and the issue moved. Put the tire on the tire machine and found out there was a problem with the tire. Told him we could sell him new tires but were not responsible for them. He left mad to go back to brand x tire place. These were brand new tires, sometimes they slip thru the cracks. Did a shutdown at a tire plant and they pump them babies out like, well, like rabbit babies!


Spend that kind of money on tires and have issues I wouldn't be here, I'd be back at the tire place raising a stink. Radial pull? Sorry, not being rude but if that's normal I'll be sure to stick with Michelins or Bridgestone. Can't see that being considered a great tire if you have to spend extra money in order for them to work properly after you dump money on brand new tires. Again, not singling anybody out but that just don't sound right. Not doubting what was said, just the fact that you have to spend more money after buying new tires to counteract a tire issue....on new tires....

I've had it on other vehicles, Tire guy calls it "radial pull". (Might be radial Bull)

isolate radial pull by swapping front tires left to right. if it still pulls then get an alignment by a GOOD shop. mine just started doing it after a rotation. radial pull is not radial bull

Rotate it to the back and drive. If you go side to side you are not going to determine if its the left front pushing or right front pulling. then take it back to the tire shop and they should replace it.. Its a defect in the construction of the tire. Called Radial Pull.
