Default Tire ?

I just bought new rears non-run flat NITTO and I can tell the ride is better, but I didn't replace the fronts . They are run flats. The car has developed a hard pull to the right since replacing the rears. Would not replacing the fronts have caused ?

Might be an alignment issue that got more noticable once the rears were replaced. Replace the fronts and have the care re-aligned. Or if the fronts are still good, have the front aligned. I had a similar issue with replacing fronts and rears a few months apart. Zuti
