Re: Steering pulls, even after wheel alignment check

Have you actually checked that the tyres sre identical. With the
same markings etc?

Yes they are both Cooper 79T Sportmaster GLE 165/70R13

Maybe a few hundred miles on the tyres in their 'swapped'
position would help resolve which it is.

Sorry I don't understand... how would more miles help?

Because tyres 'run in' according to which corner they're fitted to.
Swapping wheels on an axle reverses the tyres 'run in' direction, and alters their wear pattern. After the tyres 'run in' again, their behaviour may change from how they behaved when first fitted.

Still sounds like your problem is not purely down to the tyres though.
