Put two new tires and new tie-rod ends on an Infiniti ...

Put two new tires and new tie-rod ends on an Infiniti (97) that had a slight pull to the right. Then had it aligned. Alignment went out in about a week. Now it''s pulling harder to the right. Swapped front tires left to right... made the pull even worse. Alignment people say it''s defective tires. What do you say?

 

Optional Information:
1997 Infiniti Q45 ?

Already Tried:
new tires, tie rods, rack & pinion boot, alignment

Hello and thank you for choosing Just Answer.

Sounds like the when they did the alignment they did not fasten it enough. I would have them redo the alignment and do it right this time around.

If they are so skeptical about the tires, put the rear tires to the front. I am 100% it will still pull to the right, as matter of fact I am sure it'll pull right no matter what tires you put on.
