2001 - Wheel Alignment Specs ??

Hey folks ......

My '01 SE (with the 17" stock wheels, 225/50 stock spec tires) seems to be having a steering pull (and also an off-center steering) ever since I changed tires (bought a new set of 4).

The tire shop says that wheel balancing is correct.

Could it be an alignment issue ??

If so, could someone post the alignment specs for this car (from the service manual ??)

Any ideas what else it could be ??

Thanks !

Having incorrect toe will cause the off-center steering.

Thanks dizmax96 and DOHCtorJT - very helpful.

I will get my alignment checked asap with these specs.

What else could cause an off-center steering ??? (which happened right around when I replaced my 4 tires)

Also DOHCtorJT ==> Was this page from the FSM ?? Know where I can get the PDF of it ?
