Default Radial Pull

Has anyone else experienced the effects of "radial pull" or "tire lead"? From what I can understand, a defect in the tire causes the car to pull one way or the other.

If you have, what did you do to get it resolved? I have a set of Toyo winter tires that developed this problem after only one season. I know for sure that it is the tire after triple-checking pressures, then eventually putting my summer set back on.

Thanks

Default if you do have the case of "radial pull",

tire rotations will change your symptom (stops pulling, or pulls to the other side). With few rotations, the tire shop should be able to tell you which tire is the culprit (if there is a defective tire with radial pull).
