    Make sure the tires are at their proper pressures. A low tire can make a car pull to one side. Not saying thats the problem, only that it's a possibility.

      I'm pretty sure mine's been doing it since around 7000 miles, but there are so many pot holes and crooked roads around here, if I got an alignment it wouldn't take long for it to happen again.

        ^ Elmwood park had some SERIOUS potholes. I feel for you! Out here we have smoother roads, but there are tons of gravel trucks everywhere you go. So my paint gets chips all the time. Gotta love the Chicago burbs!

          A lot of cars do this because of the crown of the road.

          All of my cars have always pulled slightly to the right because of it.

              Initialy when the G6 came out there was allot of issues with the tires.
              They warranty the tires for something like 13,000 miles.
              Anyone jump in here who can quote it exact. But I would contact
              the dealer about it. Dont let them tell you that you knocked it out of allignment either as there was issues last year on this.

                If anyone read my posts you would know of my issues with alignment and tires.
                I've now had all 4 Continentals changed under warranty. I have 31k miles on my G6.
                2 were changed the day after I took it off the lot.
                Roads here have some serious crown as well. Central Indiana is very flat and the water needs somewhere to go when it rains. So...there is almost always a slight pull depending on what side of the road you are on.
                The difficult part is the electric steering. It's stiffer than pump assisted steering when your at hiway speeds. My arm gets tired always pulling the wheel to one side. I am getting buff though. :smoke:

                  My car had the same issue, they did an Alignment and it still pulled, it turned out the wheel itself was crooked.

                        I had the same issue.

                        Once it was out of alignment (Went to new brunswick, ice pot holes, those are the worst cause they are DEEP).

                        The other time was just tire preassure. Just yesterday i started noticing it going to the left a bit, my front tire was down to 32.5 PSI!!! (Oops should check it more often).

                        BTW quick question, what is the "correct" tire preassure? they say max 44psi, but thats the max, i wonder what is the "ideal"?

                        I put them all up to 42.5 just to be safe.

                          The correct tire pressure will be displayed on a sticker somewhere along the drivers side rocker panel.

                          For my GTP with 225/50/18 I keep them at 31PSI.


                          At 42.5 PSI... you are running at an unsafe level.
                          When you over-inflate, you will wear the tire through the middle as well.

                            Whats the pressure of the doughnut tire?
                            It said something like 75 psi on it but that cant be right....???
                            It that a max pressure?

                              I usually keep mine around 32. Never go to the max pressure. I think this was discussed in another thread.
