Lead/Pull Description


Lead/Pull Description
At a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, lead/pull is the amount of effort required at the steering wheel to maintain the vehicle's straight path.

Lead/pull is usually caused by these factors:
^ Tire construction
^ Wheel alignment
^ Unbalanced steering gear

The way in which a tire is built may produce lead/pull. The rear tires will not cause lead.
