Does anyone have alignment problems? I've only had my car 5 few weeks and it's been in twice now for alignments (once at 125mi and again at 1350mi, but never corrected). It still pulls to the right. It's incredibly annoying.

I've also noticed the tires, while they say OUTSIDE on all tires, the driver's side ones have an arrow pointing the opposite direction. Does anyone know if the Pilot Super Sport ZP is both asymmetrical AND directional? Very strange...

Kinda goes to show you fancy $50,000. alignment machines aren't all that accurate. Maybe try some other outfit, something maybe outa whack on the machine you are taking it to.

If the tires are directi9onal and are mounted backwards, that can cause the vehicle to pull. They will have to replace the tire. Mine came with Bridgestone tires,
was supposed to have Michelin tires. When they're worn out, I will switch to Michelin tires. A long time ago, I had a SC 400 with directional tires, they were mounted backwards and it ruined the tires and made my vehicle pull. They ended up replacing all of my tires.

Clearly if ONE tire is mounted in the wrong direction that would cause pulling.

I called Michelin and all they could really tell me is that if the tire has an arrow it needs to be mounted in that direction. However, these are listed as asymmetrical on tire rack, which means as long as the icon showing 'outside' is outside, that is the mounting direction.

Anyone know what this icon means? This is the driver front tire.

That's the run flat symbol.

It's my understanding that unidirectional tires (whether asymmetric or not) must roll in one direction only.

Asymmetric tires are bi-directional as long as their is an 'outside' and it's on the outside.

TimboIS

Asymmetric can be on either side, I rotate mine side to side annually.

LOL, that is the run-flat symbol. Had to know the factory was smarter than than.

Makes sense, never seen it before.

Brought it back into the dealer today, they think the problem is the 2 front tires. They're going to replace them but they have to be ordered though as they're not in stock anywhere.

Also try disabling lane-keep-assist. I've noticed mine doesn't like it if I favor the left side of my lane. It will keep trying to bring me over to the right.

I have had problems with two Lexus one a 2013 GS350 F-Sport and a 2017 GS F both pulled to right with Michelin Super Sport, was solved for both vehicles by replacing Michelin with Bridgstone Potenza .. Both paid for by Lexus Took me a while to prove the problem was the Michelin tires. they tried alignments etc nothing fixed it except getting the Michelin off of them..

If it is tire specific behaviour, then it may be tire tramlining, which I believe is worse with bigger and wider tires. Not sure if Michenlin Super Sports are more prone to this, but I haven't experienced any issues with the Bridgestone Potenza on my car. Alignment and track are fine although "first ride after a few days in the garage" flat spotting works itself out after a few miles.

My car was delivered with the steering wheel slightly off center. Haven't had the dealer address it yet...

My car was out of alignment when I took delivery, the dealer aligned it and it was fine afterwards. I had Bridgestone tires on mine.

dinobantin

have you by any chance hit the tire with a curb.it doesnt have to be the wheels..?because they can also do that.
