Car pulling to right when accelerating
I hit a pot hole a week ago, and it blew my front right tire. I replaced the tire and rotated the tires around. So Now I have 3 tires with 21k on them one, and one brand new one with 0 miles on the car. The new tire I put on the rear.
When I give the car a good amount of gas it pulls to the right. It's not a dramatic pull, but it's noticeable. All the tires are holding their air as far as I can tell. What should I do? Will an alignment fix it? Do I need to have that front right tire rebalanced? Visually, everything looked ok in the wheel well.
help.

Try switching the right tires to the left and vice versa. If the car pulls to the left, then you can which tire is causing the problem. If not, do alignment.

but it doesn't pull to the right when you get off the gas and let it coast? any vibrations at highway speeds from the wheel that hit the pothole?

It's only really noticeable when I give it a good amount of gas. Know vibrations.. yet.

When i step down on it, my car pulls to the right, then to the left, and back to the right. I believe it has something to do with the traction control trying to grip some more or something, because of the lovely potenzas.
I know this was discussed about more in detail in a prior post. I haven't hit any major pot holes, and I have this issue as well, it doesn't seem to bother me too much. I just figure it's just the power going to the front wheels.

Thanks, I'll try that first.

I don't know if you want to switch tires from right to left. I rotated mine front to back and it helped out until I was able to get a new rim.
