I spoke to the shop this morning and had them go into detail a bit more. By the way this is the best shop in the area, the dealer uses them as does my mercedes specific independent shop. They use a high speed balancer with the wheels on the car up to 130mph.
From what he told me sometimes if the molding process is just a hair off on the tire it could cause a pull and/or vibration. He told me that this usually goes away in the first couple of weeks of wear as the tires settle into a pattern. Since I have a right pull they adjusted the alignment a touch to the left so the pattern would be established sooner. He will recheck it for free in a couple of weeks if this does not change. The suspension and front end were looked at very meticulously before I bought the auto by my mercedes indie shop, and I did not have the pull as pronounced before (I never had the pull with my old Yoko's, only when I had an A/S on the right side), and never had the vibration, so I tend to believe him. But as he said, I guess this is a common occurrence on performance tires, especially directional ones.
I don't think there is an issue with the tires, I'm sure this will smooth out in a couple of weeks as I drive them. Just wanted to let you know in case you run into it in the future.
