I just had a wheel alignment done because my car was pulling. After the alignment, it was still pulling, the guy said it is a radial pull and the only way to fix it is to get a new tire. What do you think about this and can you explain what a radial pull is? Thanks
 
check your right wheel an see if it is hotter than the left, it could be your brakes..{ the flexable line between the caliber an frame sometimes collapes, you can't see it but if your wheel is hotter then the other your brakes are not releasin, see if the wheel tures hard, if it does change the flex line.
 
Possible. That would equate to an unevenly worn tire causing suspension system to not be sitting properly throwing off the drive angles causing a pull to one side. The alignment shop should have never done the alignment with known bad tires on it. Go to another shop and get a second opinion.
 
Your car naturally pulls to the right. Its supposed to be a safety feature. For example if you fall asleep at the wheel it is supposed to drift you off the road, out of the way of traffic. But if it is pulling really hard you should check your tires for stripping or try balancing your tires. Also its never good to replace just one tire, so if you have to replace one, you might as well get the other.
Hope that helps
