That is quite a bit but no other car I have owned seemed to be as sensitive to that same level before. Always good to check the easy things like this.

I've only seen this when one (rear) tire was completely flat. Due to the stiff sidewalls of the Bridgestone S-02 tires, I didn't realize there was no pressure in one of the rears, but it would pull significantly. What's really strange is that the car would pull to one side on hard acceleration, and then pull to the opposite side on deceleration (just lifting off the accelerator - not braking). Fortunately, it didn't take me long to realize that a tire was flat.

I'm surprised that you noticed pulling with uneven pressure, but perhaps I managed to always match the pressure (until a puncture made one tire completely flat).

In any event, I agree that checking pressure is a smart idea.

Update

Everything was due to one of the tire gone square probably after staying parked too long without moving and being too old (ps cup 2)

As soon as i mounted the new tire and wheel everything was back to normal
Thanks a lot guy for your advise
