They were balanced. Within 2 weeks I was back into the dealership because the tires weren't balanced aboved 50 mph.
They rebalanced and then I began to notice a pull the left upon acceleration and as long as there was pressure on the accelerator. The pull was such that you could not take your hand off the wheel while going straight.
After 3 additional visit to the dealer, the pull is there but is not as pronounced. The dealer says that is a characteristic of front wheel drive Santa Fe's. We also own an '06 Sonata and I do not notice any pull.
The wheel did not pull before replacing the tires. The dealer says the front end alignment I paid for is within specs.
Is there something I failed to ask? Could it be the choice of tires? Or that a fact that front wheel Santa Fe's will pull left or right upon acceleration?
