Michelin Pilot Sport A/S pulling to the right. Anyone else?
Just put on the A/S last night with my 18" AMG wheels since I had to remove my SO-3's for the winter. I took it for a quick spin (and I mean quick 
). I noticed that the car was pulling to the right. AAARGH!!! I thought I read here that this was not uncommon for this tire on this car. I did not have any noticeable pulling with either the stock conti's or the SO-3's. With my staggered set up the A/S and Yokie. are my only choices.

I believe it was STKLAW who had this problem, as did at least one other person. You could check with STKLAW to see how he resolved it; I don't recall ever seeing.
Also, how is the treadwear on your S03's? I just took mine off in order to put winter tires on and found that tread depth was about 8/32nds, down from 10/32nds in about 4,000 miles (lots of stop-and-go as opposed to highway use). I love the tires, but wouldn't mind them lasting longer.
