Pulling to one side

I noticed this today. I was slowing quickly for a traffic light from about 50mph and the car began pulling to the right as I was applying the brake. First time I've ever experienced this (car has 1,600 miles on it).

Anyone experienced this yet? Suggestions?

Did you just wash it or was it raining? How hard was it pulling? Is it still doing it?

The stock tires grab the road like crazy (to me). I've had it decide to make fairly moderate course changes based on the quality and shape of the pavement.

Check all your tire pressures. Then get your alignment checked out. If it does it only under braking, have your brakes checked as well.

For those in Houston, I was on Westheimer at Kirkwood.

The road is relatively flat and smooth but perhaps like DoubleParadoxx mentioned maybe it was just a characteristic of the tires.

No rain that day either. I haven't noticed it in a few days so perhaps it was some fluke.

I will check the tire pressure though, just to make sure.
