Ive tried different pressures, swapped F/B, remounted to allow R/L swap, swapped the remounted tires F/B, numerous re-do's on the GSP9700 balancer, suffered lectures by the irritated and irritating all-knowing alignment technician as it visits the rack once again, etc.....
Both the tech and Dirito suggest that I may be "too sensitive" to ordinary drift as a result of road crown. Such nonsense - PULL is not DRIFT. The car dives for the shoulder and requires constant vigilance to keep it tracking straight, esp on moderately (80-90MPH)high speed trips down I-5.
I keep going back to the fact that it tracked straight and true with the Pilot MXMs and, prior to those, the mediocre MXV4's it was shod with prior to installation of the A/S tires. Although I almost purchased Bridgestone Turanzas this go-around, I wanted a superior tire for handling and weather.
I am trying to locate the alignment printout as suggested to have another shop take a look at it, but I'm getting worn out dealing with this. They may be great tires as others suggest, but my experience with the Pilot A/S has been expensive and frustrating.
