car pulls even after alignment

im dropped on d2 coilovers, and have front and rear camber kits. I just had the alignment done at accurate alignment in Orange and the car pulls to the right and the sterring wheel is not centered. The shop said that the pull is caused by tire radial pull. i had the tires rotated and it still pulls to the right. the alignement spec sheet is matched to Oem specs... im just wondering if my tires are realy that bad or is the shop just too lazy to fix a bad aligment??

Lazy shop. Your car should not pull at all on a smooth straight road and your steering wheel should always be centered. Take it back and if they won't fix it, get a refund and take it somewhere else. You're being charged for a service they did not perform. "Tire radial pull" that's the biggest bunch of bullshit I've heard from a shop in a long time.

tire pull only happens with directional tires with stiff sidewalls on bumps, not on straight roads.
your alignment is still off! they probably don't know how to do alignment using camber plates.
