Why is my Vectra GSI pulling to the left even after Laser tracking?

About a year ago my Vectra skidded on some Ice and I clipped the curb Passenger side. I had the Car tracked up via the laser treatment but its still pulls to the left. Recently my steering has started to knock when turning hard to the left. There also seems to be some rubbing coming from the passenger side as if the tyre was rubbing on the body work but a friend who is a mechanic said that the wheel is not rubbing on anything. I'm also having to pump the tyre up on that side as it deflates to approx 24 psi after about 2 weeks. This is the second tyre that has done the same thing and when the guy changed the other he said the old one was was egg shaped. Its driving me mad. I don't want to take it to a Vauxhall Dealer as they will just rip me off. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

try changing the wheel on the front first but dont forget the rear on the same side as it will affect the pulling if that one is a little out of shape.

Check you rim, could be bent slightly out of shape.

i dont know if thisll help you much but i had the same problem after i clipped a curb, have you had your track rod ends checked as that was what was causing the problem on mine. id clipped the curb and bent it, it also made the wheel oval after the impact. i hope this gives you a better idea of where the problem is. you should get your friend to give it a look over
