Default car pulls to the right.

my car is pulling to the right when i'm barely flooring it... what could this be.. tire pressure is good tires are good.... i just put in a new clutch, and the aligment seemed good, but today while i was in the freeyway the car would pull to the right as soon as i would hit the gas.

Tire pressures, heights and tread pattern must all be equal.

Alignment, possibly. But 99% of the time people make this complaint, even when they say "tire pressures are good and tires are good" it is still the tires.

the tires in the back only have like 1000 miles on them, and tires in the front have like 10,000.

I have the same problem. I almost thought the car was in an accident with the previous owner, its nice to know its just little things here and there causing the slight weave.

what are the pressures at all 4 corners? you say that they are good but were they actualy checked or are you basing your assumption that they are good because they are brand new and the tire tech inflated them properly?

I'll be very surprised if it's not uneven rear tire pressures. Until that is checked and the pressures posted it really doesn't even make sense to suggest other possible causes.
