Drifting to the left

Guys I notice my car will drift or pull to the left if I let go the steering wheel and I'm trying to narrow down the cause. The car has recently been upgraded to Koni FSD's with Eibach pros and was aligned right after the install and I still find that it pulls I the left. I replaced my 2 rear tires and kept my old front ones, I'm thinking maybe it's a tire issue? The shop that aligned the car is supposed to be one of the better shops in town so I'm thinking they did a pretty good job. Whatelse would cause this to happen?

verify all of your tire pressures. You might have a bad tie rod end...but a good alignment shop would catch that. You should take it back to the shop and let them know.

Also, now that' i'm on a real keyboard. If you had a bad alignment before and the tires wore funny, now that the alignment is corrected the unevenly worn tires could be causing the issue and it'll take a couple thousand miles for them to fix themselves.

I'm thinking that may be the problem. I spoke with the shop and they are gonna take a look at it for me.
