I find it weird that the maker of the tires does not test each tire for radial pull before they leave the shop. But I'm guessing they air on the side of cheap here and just spit them out as fast as they can.

Just a thought after reading some other threads, but is it possible your subframe needs to shift just a slight amount to cure the issue?

You should consider swapping the wheels left to right. If the pull changes direction it is definitely one of your tires. I think they may still honor the warranty?

The issue was driving me insane - ever since correcting it I am very, very pleased with the performance of the DWs. But I will never buy continental again considering the common-ness of the issue..

It's interesting to read the massive amount of feedback and are able to relate. I have exact same symptoms as everyone else with these tires.

- Tire(s) with radial pull
- Feeling of wind pushing the car around at highway speeds
- Difference in how the tires react after heating up or 3000+miles


Will not buy these again.
