Default S2000 pulling to the left

I noticed today that my car is pulling the left, it's especially noticable during acceleration. There are no other conditions (I didn't hit or run over anything), anybody have this problem, or know what it might be?

Check your tire pressures. Differences in tire pressures cause this condition.

Or you're finding ruts in the road. But I'd say tire pressure.

Thanks for the quick replies, i thought it might be pressure but hadn't gotten around to checking it. I know the manual states that hot tires will have higher pressure than cold (the physics of it would say that also) so I prefer checking when cold. I'll check before I take off this morning, hope I don't have any nails, that would suck.

I have this same problem, and it is always due to tire pressure.

As soon as I wrote the above, i went outside to check my tire pressure. Sure enough, the left rear was almost flat, so I used my compressor to put some air in and took it to the shop. Piece of wood stuck in the tread, good to go now, thanks for the replies.
