VERY stupid question but isn't an alignment...

supposed to keep the car going in a straight line when the steering wheel is in the "center" position? After getting the Teins & Tokicos installed, I went to get an alignment and now, when the steering is centered, the car pulls to the right noticeably. Only way for me to keep the car going in a straight line was to keep the steering to the left by like ~10 degrees. So, was the alignment messed up instead of corrected? Or is this to be expected (it's starting to annoy me..I hope not)? Btw. it wasn't done at the dealer was done at Monro Muffler & Brakes.

I've had this happen before. The alignment is fine but the steering wheel is not centered like it should be. I think that they did not have your steering wheel centered when they did the alignment. Take it back to them and have them redo it.

Sounds like they didn't pay attention to what they were doing. I would take it back and have them correct this.
