I just put 4 new tires on my 03 cls, Toyo Proxes TPT's. Standard size as the original michelins. The problem is when I take my hand off the wheel the car goes to the right. I am not sure if it is a balancing issue or what. Any adive would be appreciated, so when I go back to the tire place I can get them to FIX the problem. This is my first set of new tires at 32,000. I popped a tire, so I thought I would replace all of them.

What would make the car go to the right? What do I need to tell the tire store to do?

Supposedly they balanced the tires.

you might need an alignment done, did they do that when they put the tires on?

No they didn't. They only did a balance. But before the new tires were installed I had no alignment issue.

even if tires are unbalanced it wont sway to onedirection at low speeds... check tire pressure make sure they all read 32 PSI... (i seriously notice when atleast one of my tires are too low u should invest in a good tire pressure GAUGE not that bullshit pen thingy)

if your pressure is fine take it for an alignment

OHH if the tires are unidirectional make sure they are mounted properly, i know thats a big duh but just check...

You can do this test:
It pulls to the right?
Swap the right front tire with the left front tire. If the pull is now left, it's the tire. If it still pulls to the right, then it's something with the car.

I agree it could be alignment. Also check your motor / tran mounts. CL's have a problem with broken mounts. My 2001 CL-S was pulling to the right because of broken motor and tran mounts.

tire pressure is the culprit. many times new tires when installed on used rims leak at the bead try increasing pressure to max inflation, then drive 100 to 200 miles then reset to standard inflation (80%) repeat and check regularly til leak is gone
