At least swap them side for side, and see if it does the same thing again.

While you are swapping them make sure they are equal pressure and measure the circumference. I had a pair on my TS car that was off a little and caused it to pull. Luckily they were close enough that 50 psi overnight cured the problem.

I would add, while initially the car would pull to the right, in the end it would make a right turn off the starting line.

It was the right slick, when running the car on jack stands the right slick had a little "run out" and the left tire ran true. I guess it was broken inside some how.

Good luck and let us know what you find out.

Had a spring perch break away from the axle housing on the passenger side, caused a concern like this.
Repaired it & ran another 2 seasons with no concerns.

The problem came back, the spring perch had broken part of the way & was binding the passenger spring.
