so you are keeping the steering wheel at a angle to drive straight?

Check all the above. After getting new tires and having my toe zero'd out the car would pull to the right a little. For some reason flipping the tires around fixed it.

It's the curvature of the road for rain that's pulling the car.

And don't let the car control you, you control the car.

*update* I just ate a deep pot hole the other day and it sounded like my car had a small explosion haha, but I think that fixed my car from going right a little

if you guys havent noticed the engine is offset to the right of the car more then the left.. there for my thought is the right tire is bitting just a little bit more then the left so it pulls to the right. ive had it happen in both my cars. its not drasitic though.

Nope, the weight is distributed evenly front left to front right. I've had a tC on independent scales.

x2 ↑ its called the "crown" of the road. Engineered in road construction for the purpose of water drainage off the road. I also experience my tC pulling to the right. However I know my alignment is dialled in so I can't speak for your car. I'm in Portland Oregon where we get a lot of rainfall so the crowning here is generous
