    So many of us have dealt with this and other issues around this topic. Endless threads around this. Recommendations
    1. Go to discount tire and do a proper balancing on the tires / roadforce
    2. Identify at what speeds the pull happens
    3. Repeat and iterate as needed.
    4. I suspect the next issue you will face is the famous shimmy/vibration some of us have experienced, but that's another can of...w.

    Hang in there...in retrospect this is minor stuff, the 4R is a good vehicle.

    I took your advise and tried to book an appointment at Discount Tires. They are glad to do a tire balance but said he couldn’t do an alignment because Discount tires does not have the specs for 2024 models…

    You are on the road to recovery! You will notice a difference after they do a proper balancing. Ask them what numbers they get after the balancing so that you know the settings (high 20's) don't ask me the units as I don't know the machine well, but I have that on mine profile. Many of us have struggled with this stuff. I am sure your alignment is probably fine if it was done properly. Go open a cold one bud!

    When you get a balance done, ask them to give you the road force numbers for each tire. Should ideally be lower teens but no more than 20 for each wheel.
