Default Allignment messed up?

Folks,

Just got new falken zie-512 (went up a size to 205/55/15), had 4 wheel alignment and balance done. 1 week later went to dealer to get car serviced. since started to notice pull to left when on highway...no pull on street....what could be the issue?

the highway is tiered in the middle to the sides to help water get off the road. It's probably just the highway. But it'd still be good to get it double checked.

Are there grooves in the pavement of the freeway? It might just be tracking with a groove/crack.

I noticed mine starting to pull a little to the left, alignment checked out fine, never did figure out what was causing it, just have a sporadic pull to L, not a torque steer thing, just a pull.

tobra, thats exactly what I am talking about. alignment checked out fine also.
I guess I'd have to live with it until I make a suspension or some other chassis mod.

exactly, just keep an eye on your tires if that concerns you but everything should be fine.

If you want to see how tire is wearing, jack it up, and use a roller to put paint ont he wear surface of the tire. I figure mine is just following the grooves/ruts in the road. Mine seemed to get worse after a brake job, but the brakes are working perfectly.
