RIght pull with Pilot Sport A/S

Just left the alignment shop for the third time since installing Pilot Sport A/S tires on my car in December. They claim they've done all the can do, and that the pull is a known issue with A/S tires, esp. on Mercedes (MB has supposedly issued a "service advisory" decertifying A/S for use on Benz).
Alignment shop (temperamental, high end cars only)is reputable; I believe they've done all they can do. Tire dealer says there's nothing wrong with my tires; pull is a "feature" of tires in this class (!!!). Michelin sez w/o dealer certifying there's someting wrong w/ tire, there's nothing they can do.
So, I spend over $200/corner on a "high performance" tire that requires me to compensate steering to the left every time I drive the car. I've purchased many, many sets of Michelins over the years for my various cars, but the A/S's are the last, given the shoddy treatment I've received.
Moral of this story - buy another HP tire - NOT Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, or ANY Michelin tire, for that matter, cuz if you need consideration w/ a problem, it aint gonna happen.
