Bridgestone Turanza EL400

First Post!
Just bought a new 2011 Camry.
Love the car,beautiful ride,quiet,good power for a 4 cylinder.
My alignment seems off though.
Pulls to the left,on a multiple of different roads.
I'm betting it's a bad tire.
Suck's I'm going to spend another day at the dealer.

Anyone have any problems with the above mentioned tires?

I have the same tires.No problems but they are a very low rated tire on Tire Racks survey.
Best tire for a softer,quieter ride and top rated on tire sites is the Michelin Primacy MXV4.

I have the same bridgestone EL400's on my camry se, there fine in dry conditions but in wet condition there not as good i cant take corners at 35-40mph in rain without sliding or understeer. on the other hand i also own a set of michelin mxv4 and they are 2 times better than the EL400's, i can acutally take corners without sliding. i would just sugguest to stick to those stock tires until they are done for then buy some quality michelin mxv4 tires. makes no sense to buy a new set since yours is brand new. other than that, the EL400's im running on now are perfectly fine, my car only pulls to the left when i really slam on the gas pedal ( gotta love torque steer).

It's a new car. Go to the dealer, complain and have them align the car. You might get a new set of tires out of the deal. They did that for me, but then it was 20 years ago!!
