drifting to the right

as i'm driving i begin to drift to the right. the steering wheel won't stay straight. this happened after i got a flat and put a new tire on. i'm pretty sure all my tires are the same size. what could be the reasons my car is drifting?

Did you get it realigned? Balanced? Rotate the new tires to the back if it's on the front?

sounds like you need an alignment. should cost you around 40 dollars for a 4wheel alignment at any local shop

Mine did that too... drifted to the right... took it for new tires and an alignment... afterwards you can gun in from a stopsign and go forever perfectly straight without touching the steering wheel!
