Any chance of posting the correct pressures front/back here

As far as I am aware the fronts should be 32 and the backs should be 31. If anyone else thinks otherwise then please feel free to correct me.

2.2 bar/32psi all round I think.

It does seem to be related to tyre width as the first time I noticed it was on a car with 205 low profile tyres (a rover 75, don't laugh it was actually a nice car just too old school tie). Also as mentioned the more the camber the worse it is although 99% of the time it's not worth mentioning.

My old VR6 has the exact same tyre size as my vRS and that pulled to the left as well.

Only noticed it happening on the vRS last night after 2 weeks of driving it.

My 4X4 doesn't pull to the left unless there is a pronounced camber to the road.

I have a slight pull to the left when driving in the Uk and a slight pull to the right when travelling in Europe . I think it is the camber of the road .

36 at the front and 34 at the back, I find that otherwise the tyres feel too low and there is too much sideways movement which i can actually feel as I drive, at the above tyre pressure they just feel a lot better whilst still maintaining good grip.

Alot of it is to do with the camber of road surfaces,helps rain water drain away to the side of the road,in europe you would have the opposite as your driving on the right.

Yes as a general rule of thumb, the camber, or 'superelevation' if we give it it's proper name, on a road is 2.5% to the left on straights for drainage purposes. One of the best ways to check for camber is on a right hand bend going around the speed limit. If it still pull to the left around 1/2 round the bend you have a problem.

Strangely enough there is a speed (on modern roads) where it is possible for a car to go round the corner without steering. Unfortunatly you need the design calculations to find out what that speed is (and even then it is in m/s), so it's not recommended!

had 2 fabia's both from new with diff wheel/tyre combinations and different tyre manufacturers - both pull left and are very sensitive to camber. Ironically if you drive on the rhs they track straight as if the geometry has been set/manufactured for the continents camber of the rh side of the road. Have been down to Nice twice and on the French roads its fine. You can try it here at your own risk.

It might be 'normal' but its not how it should be. Other manufactures set castor/camber geometry for the UK and their cars drive straight [Octavia is ok]although they will drift slowly to the kerb but not as annoyingly as the Fabia. Tyre wear is even

Lummox [and Skodakid] have the answer. Bias the camber as per Elsawin.

Would also agree with Lumox, had a full 4 wheel alignment on SWMBO's Fabia and there computer showed that the front subframe was a touch out. They moved the front subframe over a fraction & hey presto problem cured!

Well chuffed, will go there again as I had tried other tyre dealers and none of their 4 wheel alignment systems picked it up!

This is from AGES ago - IIRC it's the first thread I ever started... Ahh, the memories...

If you drove on the right hand side, America/Europe etc. You'll find your car pulling slightly to the right.

My Skoda is the only car I've ever owned with this characteristic.

Are you using standard springs?

On this principle then " On a single track road the car should drive dead straight " ................

If your alignment is fine, and the road is perfectly straight, then yes!

Are you using standard springs?

Who me? Yes I am.

mine used to drive straight when the original Michelin tyres were fitted on the front , pulls over with Dunlops fitted:(

My wifes 1.4 auto pulled to the left so I swopped the front wheels over (they were both fitted with identical new tyres). The problem is solved!

Spose its one of those special safety features - better to drift to the kerb when you fall asleep.

It happened to me, it was found that a rear bush in the front suspension needed replacing - hence when you accelerate it allows one wheel to toe in slightly thus steering to one side, hope this helps.....Mr Mogwye
