Alignment problems possibly
About two weeks ago, I had a flat tire on my front left tire and I had both of the front tires replaced with the same OEM tires under the suggestion of the people from the board.
I got them installed at IoC and had the wheel alignment done there.
However, I've noticed in the past couple of days that when my steering wheel is straight, it swerves slightly to the left on roads that I've never had problems with. Should this go away after the tires get broken in or should I go back to IoC and see if they can do the alignment again?
It's annoying to have to adjust my steering wheel just to go straight.
Any information on this is most appreciated.

i do think that brand spankin new tires arent the best to 'judge' your alignment with based on driving on the roads, but id take it back after a few burnouts if it still occurs....lol, ok no burnouts but it'll be hard to get some wear in this cold *** weather. id call IOC just to give them a heads up, let em know your gonna give it a week and if u still have probs. ur gonna bring it back in....also check ur PSI in right/left side front and rear...

it is probably an alignment problem. they just didn't have to steering wheel perfectly straight when they aligned it., if it was a tire pressure problem the car would go straight until you let go of the wheel and then it would start to pull
