Question: Car was pulling to the left a little. I had the alignment done but it was still pulling

Still pulling after the alignment so they rotated the front tires from left to right on the front and then it pulled horribly to the right. Had them rotate the tires to the back and now had vibration in back left tire. Tires look fine with good tread. Could the tire be out of balance or do you think the tire is irregularly worn?

If you still have issues with new tires, you'll need to have them take another look at the alignment. Something may have been done wrong.
