I recently just started to notice that my car is slightly pulling to the left right after I took my winter tires off. It's not much. If i let go it will go straight for a few meters before pulling. Is it worth getting it realigned ?

It's an AWD car as well and I checked the tire pressure and made sure the brakes were not sticking. I also checked the wheel and rim to make sure it was not warped.

Short answer. Yes. Your vehicle could be pulling to the right for several reasons. It could be uneven tire wear (which would likely have been caused by an alignment issue), tire pressure (which you've checked), wheel damage (which you've checked) or misalignment.

One thing you might try before going for an alignment is making sure that all four of your wheels are seated flat against the hub. If any debris made its way between the wheel and the hub while you were swapping your tires, it could cause some drift. Also, just make sure all of your lug nuts are tight.

Hope that helps.
