Tire rotation cause car to veer to right or left

Just had my back tires rotated to the front and now my car pulls to the right. Had my mechanic alternate them them and then the car pulls to the left. Had him balance the tires and realign the vehicle, however, the problem persists. Are the tires damaged? I had him rotate to the back again to regain some driving stability.

You could have hit a bump real bad and knocked the back tires out of alignment, thus weraing them down uneavenly and coning the inside of your left and outside of your right.... Check your tires for uneven wear and then you'll know.

Silly question. Did you make sure your air pressure was OK in all the tires??

Alignment and tire pressures can cause pulls also but if it pulled one direction then when tires were switched over and it pulls in other direction, most of the time that is a radial pull in the tires.
