This isn't saying much to help you, but coincidentally I have Michelin Pilot Power tires on my motorcycle and they have been the best tires I've ever used - for that purpose, anyway. I have no idea if the same quality carries over to their automotive tires or not.
I had an alignment done with my last 2 sets of tires and it didnt seem to do much to aid the life of the tire

Oh no!
Everyday I have problems. Every single day!
Does anyone have the phone number to Michelins Tire US of A?
I cannot find their number anywhere. I quest they know that I am next on their list. We shouldn't give away $100 for an alignment that will not work.

Were did you get your tires?
Before taking it to far, try the test of swapping the front two tires to see if the pull goes opposite or changes. If your tire place says they want to swap front to back, tell them not to waste their time. Do the swap of the front.
You want me to put the front tires on the back and put the back tires on the front?

No, put the left front on the right front and the left front on the right front. If the drift is in the other direction it is the tires. You can only do this as a test since the tires are directional. You must put them back after a test drive.
Did you get your car new? If so, you should of gotten notified if your car is effected. I was just asking if you had it done as they will align your car after.
my Pilot AS plus are cool and the gang. I love them so far. I havent had them long but they look fat and mean and seem to track straighter than my Falkens

I have them on and guees what there perfect. It pulled to the left with old dunlop runflat tires and after new tires and a aligment it still does. So i think i need to go bring it in for service for the TSB
Wow - Mine pull to the right too. I have been fighting this for months. The dealer has aligned it several times, the finally reversed them. Car then pulled straight. What's wrong with these tires?
The service technician from Lexus states that the tries are defected. The alignment is perfect!
I feel that the tire company should give me my $100 back for the alignment.
These tires suck for me. The Sam club rotated my tires and they still pull to the right. I think that all 4 tires suck!
The Sam Club wants to replace them, but I think that I should just get another brand. Forget this mess.

Did Lexus offer to rotate RF to LF and LF to RF to show the pull in the opposite direction?
I do not believe the tires are defective. However the design specs are not compatible with some of these cars. The combination of the two causes the problem. Not sure why only some GS cars are effected unless camber being slightly different in combo with the tires amplifies the effect. I went through 6 tires and since it is a design issue, it will not make a difference. I ended up getting the PS2 and most of it went away. If you are after long tire life, you might want to look at a Bridgestone. It is a touring tire but has high mileage rating as well. It should be a very quite tire
Did Lexus give you a print out of the align? If so, can you post the readout via a picture?
