I'm getting pissed about this! The auto place is getting another brand of tire for me, but all they are recommending is the BF Goodrich traction 215/50/16.

Could the larger Goodyear Triple Treads be causing this problem?


I work at a goodyear store. Sometimes we've have had problems with some of the assurances.
The alignment is most likely not off (or atleast it's not causing your pull). The alignment won't really cause a pull, it's a radial pull. You should start by having the left front tire replaced. And go from there.
You probably need one or two replaced, possibly all of them. It's not the size of tire, it's the tire.
