Question Tire pull? (alignment specs in check)

I recently bought a used set of SS wheels w/Dunlop SP5000s and since then the car had started pulling to the right. Took it in to get aligned and specs were in check. They thought it might be "tire pull" and swapped the front wheels and then the car now pulled in the other direction.

So my question is how can I reduce/stop this?

I was thinking just rotating the front wheels with the rears, would this work?
There is plenty of tread left on all the tires so I'd like to avoid buying new ones so soon.

curious my self I bought some new tires had them balanced and had an alignment done, the car pulled to the right. I took the car back and the guy switched my RF with the RR and no more pull. Whats going to happen when its time to rotate?

I'm going to swap the front driver with the rear driver to see if this works for me. Glad to hear it worked for you.

Not sure about the rotation thing down the road though...
