There have been reports of the tires causing right drift/pull on some cars. Here are two confirmed cases of this tire causing a pull/drift.

I have not read of any 2nd Gen GS issues with this tire. However I have read issues with a Lexus RX, Some MB cars and 3rd Gen GS. Get the tire and if you have issues, Costco and Michelin will take care of you.

I've been thru 2 sets of Pilot Sport A/S on 2gen GS and have suffered from premature center rib wear due to soft compound. Switched to Pirelli PZero Nero M&S and tire is more comfortable (Lexus ride is back) and it handles its *** off. Highly recommended.
