Car pulling to one side constantly

I have a 2013 Acura TL FWD on 17's All Season Tires. Car has 76,681 miles. For some reason whenever I hammer the gas to pass someone the car instantly pulls to the left but further than usual. I checked all my tires air pressure and they are all even. I will be taking the car in to the dealer for a Snow Tire Swap (Blizzaks) and possible alignment. Anything you think I should have them look at suspension wise?

If it's only doing it under hard acceleration, could it possibly just be torque steer? Do you have the FWD model?

Yes it happens under hard acceleration. I also drive with steel toe shoes. It's the FWD 3.5 TL.

If it's not doing it at any other time, then I would assume it's just torque steer.

I'm thinking it's your tires/alignment. Happened to me when I rotated my last winter set to drive to the tire shop. Both my summers and winters got affected, luckily they were at their end of use.

The issue was the alignment in the front was out of spec. Put my Winter set of Blizzaks on the car and got the alignment done so the car is straight like an arrow now. It feels like the day I got the car.

My Blizzaks.
