Tire pulling fixed after tire rotation?

A few weeks ago I had 4 new cheap achilles summer tires installed and a wheel alignment done on my Camaro RS. The car drove a bit weird after but I just figured the tires had to be broken in. I realized the car was pulling to the left, especially at high speeds and the steering wheel sat slight tilted to the left when driving straight. So the other day I bought it back to Firestone to get the wheel alignment redone potentially but I was told the alignment was still good and there was no signs of uneven tire wear so they just rotated the tires. It's only been a few days but the car is no longer pulling and the steering wheel sits center now. Granted it may not have been long enough for there to be uneven wear but Any advice on what I should do or will this just be an issue when I have to rotate the tires again? I just run the stock square 245/40/20.

i thought if you have the Rs package, the front and rear wheels are different in sizes so you cannot rotate them (6gen).

The RS Package is just an appearance package so the square setup remains. Only the SS, 1LE and ZL1 have the staggered setup.

It’s call a radial tire pull. It happens sometimes, only remedy is to replace the offending tire or just keep it on the rear.

checked my 2018 2LT RS and they are 245/40 FR and 275/35 REAR / 5 spoke low gloss black and matches the sizing from discount tires.

There may be a problem with the way that site treats the 2018 trims, only listing one LT designation, with no distinction between 1LE and RS versions of the LT. Unless 2018 was different than other years, I believe all non-1LE RS models came from the factory with a square 20x8.5 setup, with 245-40-R20 tires all around. That is what I have on my 2021 3LT RS, and my 2016 RS had 20x8.5 wheels on all four corners as well.

I would recommend trying to find a place that uses a road force balancer.

Those machines can also measure the best location for each wheel to get the car tracking as straight as possible. It can tell you the best location for each tire.
