Just got 4 new Kumho ASX 245/45/17 installed on my 06 TL with stock suspension.

Took the car to the dealership and they tried to align it. But it's been 3 times, the car is still pulling to the right. Don't know why.

Are any of you guys having the same problem? I need some help here. From the alignment reading sheet dealer gave me, all numbers are within the GREEN zone.

 

Can anyone recommend a good alignment place for my Acura TL other than dealership.

I was thinking about Firestone life time alignment service, but heard so many bad reviews about them. Those techs don't see luxury cars that often, so they mess around with your car and don't know how to put it back.

Any nationwide chain store other than firestone or dealership that offer life time alignment service that is reliable and good in quality?

 

These tires are directional, and they can do this if :
a: Improper install
b: bad tire
c: bad alignment

I think you may have a bad tire, tell them to rotate the tires and if you do not fell any pulling, it was one the front tires mind you a directional tire rotation is DF->DR, DR->DF, PF-PR, PR-PF

DR driver rear
DF driver front
Pf passenger front
PR passenger rear

 

I had this exact problem with my stock tires. It was determined that I had 2 bad tires and once replaced the pulling stopped. I think the TL is extremely sensitive to tire issues. The dealer rotated them and tried a number of fixes for about 3 weeks before finally replacing two tires. They apparantly have a tool called a road force balancer available that can test each tire for bad spots.

 

yep I just went through this same thing. Its not your alignment. Its your tires.

Rotate them.

 

Thank you guys for your help. Let me go to Discount Tires now and see if they can replace my tires. Afterall, I've only got the tires a few days ago.

 

I was researching the tire, actually the ASX is not a directional tire, the AST is.

As stated on Kumho's website, the ASXs that I have now are Asymmetrical.

Maybe I should go to discount tires and tell them to put ASTs which are directional on my car?
