They were professionaly installed and balanced....But when going about 50mph on the highway...if I take my hand off of the steering wheel...the car gently veers to the left. I did have a wheel allignment about a year ago ( on the old tires and wheels)...Do I need another allignment or is there some other possible issue???

Always a good idea to have an alignment when you change wheels/tires. Tim '71 Charger 383/727 '17 Challenger SXT (Wifeys car )

Have dealt with LOTS of tire pull issues over the years. And yes...I would still have the alignment checked/tweaked for the radial tires
