The belts in a radial tire extend across the entire tire from one side to the other. One purpose of these belts is to enhance the strength of the sidewall. When the belts begin to slip and pull apart, the sidewall weakens.

Radial tire pull is usually caused by a tire construction issue. You can have a pull for other reasons, unbalanced spool valve, alignment settings, tire pressure, etc. The only problem with that is when it comes time to rotate the tires.

I had the Lexus dealership do a alignment, after the alignment my car was pulling to the left, not horrible but enough to notice.

Had them recheck it and they said my alignment was perfect.

Willie B of Two Guys Garage helps you understand how to choose trailer tires.

Why you should pick a radial trailer tire or a bias ply trailer tire. Learn how each trailer tire is constructed so. Rotate the front tires side-to-side.
