No...My Z does not pull to any side...the only problem I note, and its not a problem with the car, is that when driven on local roads that are traveled by heavy trucks, It likes to swing from side to side. This being a result of the grooves formed by the heat and the trucking. As I noted before, when I travel on the newly paved section of I 75, the Z tracks perfectly...

If the road is grooved from heavy travel it is possible for the steering to follow the terrain. Some refer to this is trammeling. Bigger tires increase this along with improper air pressures. Coming to a stop the tire will try to follow the topography of whatever it is against/resting on.

Mine does this also, is normal on grooved and worn roads. Normal smooth surface, no pull.
