Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus 245/40ZR-18 93Y in some cases causes pull/drift Lexus GS Third Series

Starting this thread for those thinking about putting Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus 245/40ZR-18 93Y on Lexus Third Generation GS series cars. There have been reports of the tires causing right drift/pull on some cars. Here are two confirmed cases of this tire causing a pull/drift. If you get this tire, contact Michelin or the place you got the tire and they will take care of your issue.

I have them in 245/30/20 on my new rims right now and they are just amazing tires........can not say more about them

does this only happen to 3GS

how about 2GS?
im thinking about getting them from costco for my 01 GS300

I have not read of any 2nd Gen GS issues with this tire. However I have read issues with a Lexus RX, Some MB cars and 3rd Gen GS. Get the tire and if you have issues, Costco and Michelin will take care of you.

I've been thru 2 sets of Pilot Sport A/S on 2gen GS and have suffered from premature center rib wear due to soft compound. Switched to Pirelli PZero Nero M&S and tire is more comfortable (Lexus ride is back) and it handles its ass off. Highly recommended.
