I just fitted my summer tires, with 15 mm spacers at front and 25mm at rear and noticed the car seems to tramline more and seems to pull to the right at times.TIA, Dirk

Doesn't sound right. Pulling to one side is alignment or brakes grabbing usually

Default It could...

but not much. Other than damaged (bent) suspension parts, the most likely suspect for significant pull is incorrect (mismatched side to side) camber or tires which have worn differently.

You DID mark what locations your summer tires came off of and rotated them on the same side, didn't you? (i.e. LR to LF, LF to LR, RR to RF, RF to RR) You could get pull if the tires weren't put back on symmetrically.

Yes, the tires were marked. Put a neat little label on. ITs road camber related.
