Default Alignment issue, no bad tire

I got some new tires on our Range Rover Sport a few months ago, Pirelli Scorpion. (Mainly a freeway cruiser). I noticed a slight pull to the right that got progressively more pronounced. I had the lower control arms replaced and then an alignment, the alignment shop called and told me that I had a bad tire, it was the cause of the pull. I took the truck to the tire shop, they swapped the tire to the rear and it drove straight as an arrow. They replaced the tire and all is good in the world. Truck drives really well with the new lower control arms, amazingly tight!

Its petty normal for a bad aliment to wear a tire, of course. But once the tire is improperly worn it will have an effect on a proper alignment. So that all makes sense.

I have new lower fronts to install too. But I am building up an inventory to do everything, uppers and lowers in front and rear. Cant wait!
