Lead/pull is the deviation of the vehicle from a straight path, on a level road, without hand pressure on the steering wheel.
Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors:
- Tire construction
- Uneven brake adjustment
- Wheel alignment
The way in which a tire is built may produce lead/pull. The rear tires will not cause lead.
