Does anyone else have this problem with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus?

I just got them installed yesterday from Costco but before I even ordered them, the tire guy there warned me that he's experienced these tires pulling to the right on the GS. I haven't heard any reports of this on the reviews so I chalked it up to alignment issues with those cars. But when I got my car back, going straight and letting go of the steering wheel, the car would pull to the right. Even when I tug on the wheel to the left and let go, it would eventually start to go right.

So this morning, I took my car to Lexus to have the alignment done but after they had made some corrections, it would still pull right. Any thoughts?

If you would of used a search function, you would find few threads stating that the michellins pull. I personally had them, never noticed any pulling they we're great tires expect the little thread on the side of the tires that wore out pretty quickly. I would suggest rotating the tires see if the pulling is still there. If it isnt have them change the tire, if it is I would assume a bad alignment.

I have them and they pull to the right also but the car was pulling to the right when I first got is also, the problem I am having now is masive vibration, my hand shaking when I am driving on the freeway they will have to fix this when I get back

I have this tires; one year and over 20k miles. Try having the dealer balance the tires. I was also warned by Costco, and decided to buy tires at Tirerack. They were shipped to the Lexus dealer and mounted/balanced. No issues.

Ya my friend works at costco and told me these tires on the GS350 have raido pull. I needed an alignment before I got my new tires so I took it to midas had an alignment done. I took it back a 2nd time because I told them it was still pulling. They told me they used the machine to align it and that everything was up to specs. They then told me to go to costco to get it balanced...still haven't had time for that because I no longer have a costco membership...fail

I have a set of a/s on my 350z and they work fine. I recently put them on my GS and they pull to the right. I had an alignment and the tech suggested I flip the tires.

Yep, I've had the alignment checked twice and I still have a slight pull to the right, nothing severe, but it's there. Other than that, the tires are very smooth and very quiet, but it gets a little annoying on the highways. I've got about 35,000 miles on them so I'll be replacing them in about 3 months, probably with either the Continental DWS or the Yokohama Avid Envigor.

My vehicle is a GS 350 F-Sport, 2013
I haven’t a clue why the Michelin Sport tires always pulled ever so slightly to the right, front tires were swapped side to side, still pulled right, the fact that my vehicle has Dynamic Steering may be a factor. Now with the Bridgestone Potenza 050A it’s back driving as it did when new.
The Bridgestone's Potenza 050A are the original equipment on my vehicle. I have driven over 300 miles now with these tires without any pull at all !
Note: I put 3500 miles on the Michelin's, it pulled right the entire time!

I had them installed last month after one of the Kumho's (25k miles on them; rotated every 5k; hardly any treadwear) developed a bubble while I was driving through the desert between Yuma and El Centro. It was 104 degrees and was I ever thankful my spare was up to par, as I had another 150 miles to go to get to San Diego. I also had to pick up two friends in El Cajon, where they had flown to from Phoenix that morning. I had the Michelins installed in San Diego - all 4 Kumho's were replaced. During the drive back to AZ from San Diego, and a subsequent round trip AZ-SD-AZ drive, the tires performed flawlessly with no drifting whatsoever. Today, with almost 2k miles accumulated since installation, the flawlessness continues. I'll be driving cross-country next month, and don't anticipate any problems.
Of course, I felt the same way about the previously mentioned first trip to El Cajon and San Diego!
