Pay attention to the road, when you see the ruts you will know that there will be some pull.

Plus, the wider your tires the more pull you'll experience. I remember test driving WS6 trans am in downtown Nashville where the roads were all lumpy and torn up by semis...those (what are they, 275's?) wide tires wanted to pull me all over the road.

It's just that in my 2002 SE it seems to happen more often and more violently compared to my 2000 acura CL.... does it have to do with the bigger tire size or something?
