Check your tire pressures.
On all four tires.
When cold.
9 out of 10 one of them is low.

You didn't have a (rear) puncture and had a new tire on one side and an old one on the other?

Let us know what you find.

My first thought! Usually if it pulls one way during acceleration and it pulls another way during deceleration, a tire is low on pressure.
