Mine pull to the left when breaking (quite noticeable) and a little when driving at highway speed.

+1 at pulling to the left while braking.

a little searching shows this is a common problem. its also been reported of unnatural / uneven tire wear.

noticed it a good amount on my 2008 es, not so much on my 2009 gts until about 15k miles thats when i got new tires and wheels and an alignment and the pull was gone.

I finally trashed the stock advans and threw on a set of Continental Extreme Contact DWS 225/45/18. I went all season for my winter set. My driver side front tire was basically bald on the inside. So after putting on the new tires I went to a local shop for an alignment. The alignment was all jacked up. The front and rear left side was completely off.

The dealer told me the alignment was fine at 15k, now I am at 23k and the front and rear driver side was completely in the red.

Not only was my RA not aligned properly when I bought it, but despite repeated "assurances" by the dealer that it was "ok", once I took it to a proper alignment shop we found that the car could NOT be brought into spec without crash bolts or a little grinding.

After destroying a couple sets of tires, it was OK from that point on. Take it to a good shop and make sure they are aligning it with someone (or ballast) in the driver's seat.
