My 2010 1500 has been pulling off to the shoulder side of the road no matter which side it is on. Typically it wants to drift off the the right but the other day I noticed while going through a road construction zone on the opposite side of the road, it pulled off the the shoulder on the left. I just had new tires put on and it was aligned as well. Could this be a tire issue and they need to be rotated?? It seems worse the steeper the contour of the road.

Are your pressures goos all around? I've experienced "Tire pull" in the past, but it usually was to one side only. Tried alignment but nothing changed until dealer cross rotated front tires (providing tread allows this) and this fixed my issue.

Move the back tires straight forward and criss-cross the front to the back.

If it still pulls its something to do with your alignment.

Your new tires could just be giving more tire pull as well. They may want to "follow" dips and slants in roads more than your old ones.
