Our 2002 Sequoia 2WD has 34K miles and still on the original Dunlop
265/70-16 tires.

In the past few months in highway driving I notice the vehicles pulls to the right when I take my hands off the steering wheel.

I suspect this is likely associated with 1) the tires and/or 2) the front end alignment.

I got DJ's alignment specs for toe, caster and camber.

Questions :
1) Have I correctly narrowed down th issue to tires/alignment?
2) The tires are within 5K miles of the end of their useful life
3) Should I postpone having alignment work performed until I get new tires ? ( i.e. would the alignment have to be re-performed with the new set of tires?)

My thought is the original Dunlop tires could possibly be the issue and a new set of tires may eliminate or reduce the problem.

Anyways- any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

ALSO - Any suggestions for a shop in Houston Texas to perform a good alignment ? Or should I take to the Toyota dealer ?

Thanks- GNB
