it's radial pull. If you google trail grapplers pull left you'll get a ton of hits from all different sources. Everyone asks about them pulling left.

I would disagree. I don't think it is radial pull. If it was, you could switch them left to right and the pull would switch to the right, correct? I believe it is a tread design. My 35's pull to the left and I am switching them out right now. I will not tolerate a tire that pulls for the price they charge.

radial pull is commonly used as the term to describe tread pattern pull. It isn't the correct term but you're going to pull up more info using it than you will tread pattern pull. Thanks for chiming in to correct my terminology after having your own problem with tread pattern pull diagnosed over the Internet. Thanks also for reiterating what I said in a response to something I said.

Nice response. I am just trying to help pass on information that I found very helpful (it probably came from you) as I struggled with the same problem. If I would have thought you would be so easily offended, I would not have corrected your terminology. However, if you are talking through your tire problem with a vendor you need to know the difference between radial pull (defective tire)and pull induced by tread design (not a manufacturing defect). I did not and as a result of the collective experience of members on the forum I was able to diagnose my left pull issue with my trail grappler's. I am simply passing on what I have learned and I thank you personally for your help.

Not offended... I found it funny that I told you what your problem was a week ago. You then found another thread where I had posted on the same topic and attempted to correct me like you were now an expert.

Glad I could make you smile. I never said I was an expert and I thanked you for your help. I have read many of your post and found most very helpful. I also thought your post needed some clarification. Your terminology was incorrect. That's just the facts. I meant no harm, just trying to help a fellow forum member by passing on great information I recieved from someone else, likely from you. If my post was wrong, please correct me. I will defer to your knowlege regarding tires that pull to the left.

Maybe when you get a little older you will have a more gracious tone to your key strokes. No one is attacking you or your Jeep knowlege.

Everyone, please make sure you give all the credit for the information in my previous post to this young man.

I'm not even sure how to respond to this. You're inventing drama that doesn't exist. For someone who's clearly old you've got a lot of growing up to do. Man up kid.
