: A wider tire with a shorter,stiffer side wall will wander more, but alignment adjustment can help. Was rear toe checked? Even a very small amount of rear toe out can make things a bit spooky.
: Try 1/8" toe in front, 0-1/8" toe in rear and as much caster as you can get. This should improve self centering and stability.

Here are the numbers from my alignment:

Front:

Left Camber = -0.4 degrees
Right Camber = -0.7 degrees
Left Caster = 4.3 degrees
Right Caster = 4.3 degrees
Left Toe = 0.10"
Right Toe = 0.07"

Rear:

Left Camber = -0.7 degrees
Right Camber = -1.0 degrees
Left Toe = 0.09"
Right Toe = 0.11"

Thanks,

Matt
