Help with 2 issues - pulling to the right and a small clunk

Ok, I have 2 issues I am having. Recently I had 4 Goodyear LS2 RFT puts on my X3 m sport - 19 inch square setup. They were all around 7/8 32nds of wear, but seems even.

I am now getting the car pulling a bit to the right. Is it normal for it to pull a bit? An alignment was also done a week before the tires were put on. PSI was set at 36 for all 4. (I know the door jam says 32 and 38, I will change it to that but I'm not sure it will help)

Second issue: I had a new left front strut installed by BMW. When going over bumps, I notice that the left front wheel in particular makes a bit harsher clunk/noise than the other wheels. Does the strut have to loosen and break in or was something possibly not put on correctly?

The strut should be ok straight off. I think 36 PSI is quite high and could affect the ride? I would try dropping to 32 or even 30 PSI if you are not carrying passengers. I find the tire pressure makes a big difference to my car.
