I tend to agree with the wide tire theory. However, I did manage a brake and alignment shop for 3 years and found that about 60% of the time all it would take to get a car to quit pulling one direction or another would be to swap the front tires side to side. We all know that the F1's are unidirectional, but maybe you could try to rotate them front to back. Anybody with new tires notice the same problem before and after the new tires?? The reason for this is sometimes a belt slips inside the tire itself..very common. In the future on any vehicle you own you might try this trick. Save $50 bucks and use it for mods on your L

I just put new rubber on and it still pulls to the right. Old tires(15000 miles) wore nice and even though....?

Cool

Since it's a truck maybe it is pulling to the right because deep down it really wants to go off-road. Ford must program this into the computer.

Maybe it's an overwhelming attraction to gas stations. Or, massage parlors. Or, strip joints?
Oh, wait. Those are my attractions...

Hmmm.... Maybe the truck just knows, or something......?
