Default Tires Question

I had my tires rotated on my '15 Q7...best car I've owned so far. It drove down the highway like it was on rails - straight as an arrow! So I take it in for normal service and tire rotation. There's only about 10,000 miles on these Goodyears. I get back into my car and hit the interstate and I notice a ridiculous pull to the right...like really bad. I call the dealership and the service guy tells me it sounds like a case of radial pull? I've never heard that before. He suggested switching my front tires and said it'll probably help or it needs aligned. It was driving perfectly before the rotation. So before I do the switch can anyone offer thoughts or suggestions?

Definitely can happen.

I would double-check my inflation pressures based upon what's viewed in the Owner's Manual for you car. I guess I'd have the alignment verified if the wear pattern is less than perfect.

Yes can happen. Check pressures. If ok swap front tires side to side and see if it changes.

One other thing to check. See if you have directional tires, and if so, that they are all turning in the correct direction.
