Discovery 4 pulling to left

Recently acquired a 2015 Disco 4. After a short while noticed a slight steering wheel vibration at about 60mph and the steering was pulling to the left slightly. Had to turn the steering about 5 degrees right to maintain straight line. Took car to get wheel alignment and it was pretty much spot on, but they adjusted it slightly to get the values dead straight. Still had the same issue so then decided to switch wheels front to back. This still didn’t cure it. I even strung the wheels myself to check the alignment and it was millimetre perfect.
Have now changed pads and discs at front and ensured all brake parts are moving smoothly, again still same issue. (got rear to do soonest).

There doesn’t appear to be anything amiss with bushes or track rod ends, all seem solid and secure.
The vehicle has got 22 inch wheels, running 285/35 tyres, which appear to be aftermarket. Could this be the issue? If it is, I’d have thought that I’d get a steering pull in varying directions. I haven’t as yet checked the wheel balance.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Did you get the tracking done or a full four wheel alignment?
I would also say that size wheel and width tire plus the camber of the road means it will always end up pulling to the left on a dual type carriageway, on a single track it will run straight

Plus 1 with regards to the 4 x wheel alignment and tyre size

What a great shame ruining a very good motor with rubber bands that size , one pothole hit and there gone , lol, , along with ruling out any off roading with such a narrow sidewall

Wonder what insurance companies also think particularly with them being aftermarket , ie, rims suitably weight rated and side wall rating

If the wheels are for a VW transporter, then they'll probably break when going through a pothole, as they're not designed for the weight of a D4.
Although the OP can't be that bothered, as he's not been back on since posting. Don't you just hate that.

yep, did we say something wrong, lol

Plus 1 regarding the rims and blimey 22 rims with only a 35 wall , one of my pet hates seeing low profiles on discos and rangies , really does ruin them , also imagine insurance company would soon refuse a claim if there was an accident having nonstandard wheels fitted

but indeed it seems to be happening a lot, people ask a question and then either don’t come back nor update the thread if they fix the problem

another one which I think annoys everyone is u help someone and they don’t say plse or thk u

however down the road there will be something else , they then post another thread and wonder why we don’t bother helping , karma, lol

Indeed. Some requests for help are so short, it's almost like the OP is demanding help, yet no please or thank you. It seems some think the forum members owe them help. It really makes me angry.
I actively try to avoid helping if the OP isn't polite.

A closer look at the suspension arrangement may be needed ...

Alas they burn there bridges there and then so at least when they come back there on there own
