Default Got an alignment, still pulled to right

I got an alignment yesterday.
It still pulled to the right.

I had them swap front wheels/tires.
The car goes straight now. I am still trying to understand why it is this way.

they are directional tires that are running the wrong way now.


should i just replace both front tires?

all alignment spec are set to make car pull to the right a bit, just in case people fall asleep at the wheel. (instead of hitting the on coming traffic, helpfully just the guard rail)

Running the directional tires the wrong way is very unsafe. Its not meant to be use that way...

It really isn't unsafe but the wet weather in standing water will not be as good. The tires actually could have a radial pull.
