Truck tracks left

Hey guys, I just put new tires on 305's on 16x10 wheels and now the truck seems to track to the left and the steering wheel is not centered, I had stock wheels with 285's on it before and it rode straight as an arrow the steering wheel was allways off alittle bit just wondering if anyone has any experience with this Thanks ...... The truck is an 04 350 cc if it helps

Sounds like what you have is "radial pull" caused by a bad tire on the front axle. If the tires are new, take them back and demand they be checked. If not, try swapping the front and rear tire on the side with the pull. The tires will usually behave better on the rear axle....but you won't be able to rotate your tires.

Did you lift it? The steering wheel should not have move just by putting on new tires. This is only common once you lift.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Turns out it must have been a brake caliper hanging up. Just changed the front pads and it seems to have solved the problem
