jspell - just read your tire issue and see everyone reading it thinking the same thing, “reverse the D2585s to see if it now drifts right.  Checked my D2585s to see if they are directional rotation, they’re not.  Measured them and found 1/8” difference like coupemerc.  The smaller number on both sidewalls are 255058-80D56SS, not sure what this number is, maybe a run or batch number from Goodyear.  maybe check you numbers and see if they match side to side.  Alan

Goodyears are picky on how they are mounted the first time. both tires MUST be mounted the same (but the rims reversed) with the batch/code numbers on the same side , I cant tell you which side as I have them mounted at the tire trailer. After a couple hits the tires/wheels can be swapped side to side

From Goodyear...

When mounting new tires, the 8-digit serial number faces the right side of vehicle on the rear and faces the left side of vehicle in front.
