Default Please check out my alignment specs

I had new tires put on my stock '06 IS250 AWD with 17" wheels and as recommendation here, I had an alignment done (Lexus dealer). Now the car has a slight pull to the right. The dealer says the alignment is within the specs. Please look at the attachment below and let me know if the specs look correct. Since the picture is black/white, only SAI and Cross SAI is in red.

Thank you in advance.

check tire pressure first, if thats ok, swap the two front tires left to right and go for a drive, if it pulls to the other side, then your tires have a pull. either replace the tires, or move them to the rear. (dont worry if they are directional, as your test drive will be short)

cross caster is most likely your issue if it isn't a tire problem...

just because it is in the green doesn't mean its good... too many techs follow this philosophy, and it is horrible... assuming caster is adjustable on the vehicle, it should be relatively easy to get it right...

so, as mentioned above, rotate the fronts side to side, and see if anything changes... if not, go complain again... just because a piece of paper says its within tolerances doesn't mean it will drive right, and you want it to drive right...
