Default Pulls hard to right!

Recently bought Mazda 6 with 23,500 and it had 3 different tires on it and had a slight pull to right. Decided to get 4 of a kind which are Yokahama V4S 215/50/17 per factory specks. Still pulled so I had the car aligned at a local tire shop as the Mazda dealer currently does not have their machine working. Still pulled so had tires rotated front to back. Pulls worse now and did not improve over a 1000 mile trip this weekend. Air pressures at 32 all around. What would be a good next approach. Mazda dealer to have a look for damage? Your ideas most welcome. Fine car otherwise.

it may be an mis-aligned engine cradle. This has been noted several times online. This should be fixed by a Mazda dealership for free. They should honor the defect that their UAW employees created! I love this car too. So have fun with it!

my 06 6 pulls to the right a bitif i get on it off the line, but if im cruzin' and let go of the wheel it stays striaght for a good distance, then s-l-o-w-l-y goes to the right. my car has 3 of the same tires (rear and front driver) and a different one, but same sizeon the pass side front. im thinkin this is my prob.

I believe that pullling to the right experiance you're having when launching off the line is called torque steer.
