Alignment or Tires??

I've noticed since I put my rims on my car that the steering the the road overall feels alot different. With larger tires and wheels little grooves in the road can really pull you car from side to side, just due to the road conditions. Well I had my car aligned about 2 weeks ago, and it seems as if my car pulls to the right, but sometimes it doesn't do it. I know there are factors such as windy a$$ days, road surface and what not. Any suggestions on how I should figure out what the problem is once and for all??

It's just because of the wider tread, both sets of my rims, 17" and 18", did the same.

I have to agree that the wider the tire the more it grips the road surface.especially on cement highways and freeways with the groves in them. Once the tread wears down a little on the tire the problem won't be so bad.
