As soon as I put new tires on, I had the same problem and it was only a "little out of alignment". It ended up being the new tires.
The pulling to one side was driving me crazy. I marked where they put the tires originally, and then rotated front to back. The car felt basically the same and still pulled to one side albeit less.
I tried something different; Using the markings on the tires, I rotated the tires left to right vs where they were put on originally. As soon as I got in the car for a test drive, the car now pulled to the OTHER side. That narrowed it down to the tires. Which one? I didn't want to find out. I went back to the tire place, told them what I did and they put all new ones on (different brand too). The only caveat here is that they were directional tires so when I swapped left to right, they were facing in the wrong direction. I only drove on them for about 5 miles that way as it was immediately apparent that the tires were to blame. I put them back where the installer had put them before going back to the tire place.
Good luck. I hope you bought them from a reputable place.
