Thanks - this is the final version... do you like it better?:

My car already drifts right, and I've had alignment performed several times. I finally chalked it up to radial tire pull, which is annoying but comes with the territory of owning performance tires, I guess.

Now that the suspension is installed, it still pulls right.

Not yet. I am going to chicago this weekend - when I get back I plan to have the car detailed so I will take some pics after that. It needs a thorough cleaning inside and out.

My pull has gone away now. I have that damned vibration around 50mph though. Oh well - it isn't bad. I hope it doesnt get worse - just because of all the stuff I put on after I bought the car. (a-spec, wheels, tints - soon, door sills - soon, laser shifter, fm modulator for mp3 player...etc etc)


and Lore - why not get the tires swapped out under warranty?

I did - I had two swapped out - but they still pulled, and Firestone is significantly harder to work with than an Acura dealership.

No new pics, sorry.

Shibby: If you want to keep your speedometer accurate then you want 235/40/18. Otherwise you could probably go to 245/40/18 and your speedo will be off a little bit.

Which wheels? The RonJons or the A-spec ones? I am selling my RJ wheels - PM me or check the buy/sell section under off topic.

Vikrampatel, do you feel the standard 235/40/18 tires on your silver sparkles provide protection against curbbing/scrapes?

The theory is that Acura went from an 18x8.5" wheel in 04 to the 18x8" in 05 because of the tire fit and lack of protection. Thanks.

No. I already curbed my front drivers wheel, although, no tire coudl have protected against that one. It was pure stupidity on my part - going through the drive thru of the bank when I knew I would damage that wheel. Never fails. On the other hand, the rear pass side I scraped slightly, but I have no idea how. It is better than the 18*8.5 wheels, but still not enough.

If/when I need new wheels, I am going to go to 17" wheels because the 18" are easily bent with the pot holes around here. At least thats how I feel about it. I tend to wonder if the new a-spec wheels for the TSX will fit the TL (17", same design as our a-spec wheels)
