Radial Pull
My first post to forum, has been an awesome resource since I got my baby 3 months ago. Here's the deal: I have 20k miles on the stock Michelins and my ride would pull right. So I had it aligned to spec by the dealer, still pulled right. Dealer double-checked alignment, and cross-rotated tires. Now pulls slightly left and dealer blames this on radial pull. End of story? Is there a fix (besides tire replacement) for radial pull? Is this common? Is it a defect or a result of poor maintenance?

I had the exact same problem. Pulled really badly and was attributed to the stock Michelin tire. I ended up scrapping the original tires even though they had miles left on them because they rode like crap and pulled. If you can live with it you are a better man than I.

My car pulls to the right slightly as well. I had an alignment and tire rotation done two thousand miles ago because of this but still experienced the slight pull in the same direction. I recall someone on this forum mentioning that this slight pull was consequence of how the car is built but I don't remember exactly what.
