double-D

I just put on a set of DWS and have had an issue with radial pull. I have had the alignment checked twice and it is spot on from MB. is this an issue with the tires

I have close to 20,000 miles on my set of DWS and have had no pull at all.

thanks. Where do you keep the tire pressure? The car says 30 front, 28 back but the dealer sets them at 32

I have a W220 not a W211 so the specifications are a bit different, but mine are at the low end of the recommended range, 35 psi or so I believe.

I have a 2007 E550 4Matic with newly installed DWS on all 4 wheels. Front TP is 33; rear TP is 35 per Fuel Door sticker.

No pulling at all. Great tires with very little noise compared to Touring Contact replaced at 60% wear 1000 miles ago. Got 45K on Touring Contacts.

I'm not sure what radial pull is but have you tried a different (known good) set of wheels/tires?

How about switching the tires from side to side? Does the car pull the opposite way when you switch the tires?

Technically with some tires you are only supposed to run them in one direction because of the carcass construction but I don't think swapping them for only a couple miles and driving in a straight line will do any damage.

There is such a thing as radial pull. I had a case and had the car aligned twice and car still pulled to the right. Switched front tires left to right and car pulled the other way. Went back to Sears and they said to put the new tires on back where it wouldn't be noticed - wrong! (car was front wheel drive and newer tires belong there) I wanted them replaced. They gave me a new set and I noticed a note on the work order to "restock as new" the defective tires they took off.
