At a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, lead/pull is the amount of effort required at the steering wheel to maintain the vehicle's straight path.
Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors:
- Tire construction
- Wheel alignment
- Unbalanced steering gear
The way in which a tire is built may produce lead/pull. The rear tires will not cause lead.
