Greetings, All!

A week ago I finally got around to putting the snows on my '81 245. I run snows on all four wheels. These tires were new last winter, and they served me well. Since I've put the snow tires on, when I drive the car it wants to steer, pretty severely, to the right -- it's almost as if I had a flat front right tire. However, the air pressure on both sides checks out OK. Tomorrow I was intending to put the summer tires back on the front just to make sure it's the tires and not something goofy in my front end.

I should add that I've rotated these snows -- I swapped fronts and rears from their positions of last winter, but I've kept them on the same side.

Can anyone think of why the tracking is so goofed up? Could a tire have gone defective (belt slipping?) during storage over the summer? Since this right front tire was on the right rear last winter, could it have been 'out of true' all along but I didn't notice it since it was on the rear? Other ideas?

Thanks for your tire wisdom.
