Default Car Pulls to the Left After Going Straight For ~5 Seconds

I have a strange problem...my Volvo 240 will pull to the left after about going straight for 5 seconds. This is without breaking. My tires are Yokohoma Avid Touring Series which are about 1 1/2 years old.

Would this be a problem with the Tires, Wheels, or Steering?

Well, probably NOT tires or wheels unless one tire is kinda flat... Actually, such radical pull would most likely be the brake caliper on the left side NOT releasing and dragging... Also, may be some suspension part seriously bent... But better provide more info, like, speed, severity, distance, noises, I don't know, just more... 5 seconds may mean a lot of different things.

try rotating your tires, i use to have the same problem. when car pulls to the left without braking check tire on the right for wear and tear
