Maybe your shop that did the work can help seeing they put the tires on. Are they directional tires? Asymmetric tires (a specific inside/outside to the tire)? What brand tires? Did the shop do an alignment?

Pick one:
Multiple choice:
a) Bad tire. b) Bad air pressure in tire. c) messed up alignment when doing tires. d) all of the above. e) some of the above. |

It could be both.
You'll need to get the tires off, re-mounted & re-balanced. Then you will also need an alignment adjustment.

Swap the rear tires side to side, See if it pulls the other way!!! Measure the ROLLOUT of both rear tires.

The rollout was 1.5" different on identically labeled tires. The scary part was when I let off the gas at 100+mph and it went back to normal but I was correcting.

It was just the back tires, they're Nittos. At first I drove off and it was pulling to the right really bad, I went back and explained the problem they took off the tires put two more of the same brand and style rebalanced them and now it pulls to the left. Could that be the way they balanced the tires or do you think that the alignment got knocked out of wack while installing? I'm going back tomorrow and demanding a free alignment to help diognose the problem.
Ps. Did not have any problems like this before |

I'd demand my $$ and old tires back and go elsewhere.

Are these directional tires and if so, are they mounted to rotate the right way? Look for arrows on the sidewall.
Are the tires asymmetrical, and are they mounted facing the right way? Look for "outside" on the sidewall. Are they both directional and asymmetrical? In that case, each tire is unique and has both rotation and outside marked. |

I had a dealer put front wheel on the back. Car pulled under acceleration pretty bad. Knucklehead. Do not assume they did anything right.

It was the rear alignment after all and a new set of tires to be safe
