Pulling vibration

06 mt

I rotated and balanced my tires yokohma w4s. I was told they are cupping. Now when I downshift the car pulls hard right (it wasnt pulling as hard before) and the car feels like its all over the road hard to keep it straight esp. when the road has grooves or ruts. I also have had a consistent vibration I feel from the drivers side front but its worst now. I also had the passenger side axle replaced a few weeks ago. Are all these symptoms of the tires? The tires I rotated to the front have more tread. So am i just feeling more torque steer or is it just the tires?

Most likely its the tires. I had the same problem when I swapped A-Spec rims off a TL-S that had bad alignment the car was pulling to the right under hard acceleration. I put the front tires in the back and the back one's up front, re-balanced, and no more pulling.

Yeah I the dealer said the directional tires have a tendancy to pull more also the dealer took the wheels off and put them back on. I had the balance and rotation done at a local shop and I have a feeling the wheels werent torqued properly because it drives smoother now (still vibration and tugging) but not as bad.
