According to my friend that worked in a tire and alignment shop... This is
known as radial pull.  This especially happens with tires that haven't been
rotated often enough and that are worn funny.  No matter where you rotate them
to, you will get some pulling.  Once a radial tire starts to wear funny you
can't stop it.  Keep your tires balanced, your car aligned and rotate often.

Happy driving!
