Default Swapping Tyres - Dim Question

Hi all, I am being very dim here. Car has pulled left even after alignment. I have been having an issue with a rear passenger wheel bearing - it was replaced 500 miles ago and started going noisy again. Anyway, my mate suggested that the it could be tyres so advised to swap the rear tyres left to right to eliminate the possibility.
It hasn’t made any difference to the wheel bearing issue....however it is now pulling right!
So what does this mean? Is it tyre replacement time? Or something else?

Any help is appreciated. Cheers, Martyn

Would a buckled wheel cause a pull? There is a slight flat spot, very small though..

Thanks for the replies - I’ll see if I can borrow another set of wheels and see if it makes a difference. Cheers
