alot of times you will wear your old tire more on one side then the other but you do it over a period of time that allows you to get use to it so when you put on a new tire that is even you just feel as though it is pulling to one side when in reality it was your old tire pulling to the other side....

drop the pressure a little bit till you get use to the new tire then put it back where you like it
