I've had my XT for over 3 years now and use it 2 - 3 times a week to commute. I recently replaced my tyres (Kenda 50 50 rubbish) with Heinenau K60 Scouts which I am loving. The grip on tar is very impressive and I have massive confidence now in the corners.

However I have noticed something new. When I pull the front brake hard, the steering pulls right very slightely which I dont remember happening before. Now it bugs me.

Took off the front wheel a few days ago as I suspected it might be worn wheel bearings but they are fine. Made sure everything was tight.

Is this normal?
Can a change in tyre cause this?

Thanks
