x3 - Goodyear: "Tires with a "directional" tread design are intended to roll and perform in a given direction. The sidewall will have arrows indicating the rolling direction fo the tire. If installed in the wrong direction the tire will not perform its intended function. However, no damage or premature wear to the tire will result. The tire should be dismounted and remounted to roll in the proper direction. "

Hmm...

Check your slide pins and calipers. The slide pin "head" where the caliper bolt goes in has an oval shape with flat sides to it. It only fits one way, and if its not fully seated it will cause part of the outside pad to pull inward and drag on the rotor, and of course pull a little bit. I know, because I did this very thing on my HHR once.

My 2009 with 83K has had this pull also. If the lane is pitched a lot to the right it's ok. New set of Michelins (top of the Line), 4 wheel aliment tech said it was within spec. The only thing he thought to try was an adjustment to the left rear wheel but it’s not adjustable. Something I have to live with. Dangerous when texting and driving. LOL!

Just reporting in with the same issue in my 08 SS. Had it for 30k+ miles now and it's always had just a slight left pull... If I let go of the wheel at speed it will start to cross the lines pretty quickly, but it's only a couple of degrees of right turn to correct it. The weight of my hand pretty much evens it out.
