i bought a set of 172's and 3 out of the 4 tires have about 9/32nd, however 1 front tire has about 6-7/32nd. Wondering is it ok to run unevenly worn tires in the front? will it cause pulling to one side??

In my experience the left front and right rear tires tend to wear 'faster' than the other two. A couple of 32nds difference shouldn't matter in normal driving. However, if you see cupping or other unusual wear patterns you should have your alignment checked.
