Steering Problems?

Hi Im new to these forums. I was wondering if there are any problems with the steering or wheel alignments on the 430 clk.
I have a 2001 clk430 that keeps pulling to the left or right on uneven roads. It is really bad on my car. I have an nsx with wider tires than the 430 and it doesnt pull half as bad as the benz.
My parents have a 320 clk and it doesnt do it either. Could it be the pilot sport tires? just wondering if it is a common prob. on the 430 or should i be visiting my dealer?
Thanks for the feedback!

sounds like an alignment problem. I have the pilot sports also and no problems with mine.
P.S. I have a 93 NSX.

I guess we have to keep some MB content here
We both have great taste in cars!
I love both cars. The NSX has been my dedecated track car for 5 years. I really don't enjoy it on the road anymore, too stiff!
My ClK, although full of irratating little problems is a blast ot drive. I track it also and love how predictable it is.
I have belonged to the NSX list and NSXCA since 1996. I am one of the "Sterling 11"
