Study Tire engineering and manufacturing terms such as self aligning torque. conicity and thrust.
Common for tire internal construction to shift to create an offset which creates a self steering force.

When one desires perfection Michelin is as close as it gets.

Radial pull.... if its just a light pull, its common, if its a dramatic lane changing pull, then you need a better alignment.
