I had a puncture in my front right tire. It was exchanged with a brand new one but with another spec. So not the exact same tire spec than the left one. Dimension are the same. The left tire has 15k km and the right one is new. Now after replacement of the right tire my steering wheel is pointing arround 5mm to the right side. Why is this so? I assume the new tire has in total more distance in one turn due to no wear so the tire is a little bit taller than the left one (Bigger diameter). I have problems to understand why it is now pulling to the right and not to the left. Can someone explain? Due to toe alignment I thaught it will pull to left because the right tire due to its larger diameter and travelling more distance per turn is pushing the steering wheel to the left....
