Tires: Pull or Drift, steering wheel, would like your opinion


Question
Barry,
I would like your opinion on the difference between "pull" and "drift". I learned that pull relates to braking and drift occurs when coasting or accelerating. What do you say?
Thank you.

Answer
Dan,

I tend to think of pull as something particularly stong - and certainly a condition that isn't there when the vehicle is at a constant speed qualifies.

So I tend to use the word pull for pretty much every condition except when it is mild. - especially when the steering wheel is pointed basically straight ahead and the car slowly moves out of the lane.
