Tracking out - by changing the wheels?
I changed my wheels a couple of days ago. Did have my wheels with fairly new AT3's on, changed to wheels with fairly tired Wranglers on. Since then, I'm noticing that its slightly pulling to the left. I've checked tyre pressures, both fronts are the same.
This isn't the first time these wheel/tyres have been on the car and had no issues previously.
So do you think its possible I have tweaked the tracking when changing the wheels? I can't think of any other reason for the pulling. I may try swapping the wheels back to the AT3s just to see if I have the same issue. In any case. I think I will be getting the geo checked.MY2012 D4 HSE Nara Bronze with some extra stuff

It will be the tyres, maybe try swapping fronts to rears?

Unlikely that you have moved the alignment, most likely, as previous post, it will be the old tyres

Thanks. I will try having a swap around, see what difference it makes. Rears currently have more tread, so reluctant to move those to the fronts.MY2012 D4 HSE Nara Bronze with some extra stuff
unless you 'accidently' undid the track rod lock nuts and adjusted the ends while changing the wheels there is no way you changed the tracking Pete
