...is that it pulls in either direction, depending on the road. If you ALWAYS have to correct to the right, then it is NOT just camber steer. Make sure the dealer takes care of your problem immediately, if it's not just tire pressures. (I can't comment on your specific situation as I've never had th 16" wheels. However, I have never noticed any significant steering problems on my stock 15s or my new 17s if all tires are within +/- 4 psi.)
If you are experiencing the problems detailed by rfellman, you'd probably know it. The car will handle OK at low speeds, but could seem uncontrollable on the freeway, according to some. This problem is most noticable when passing under hard acceleration. The effect has been called "freakish and dangerous" by a minority of this board.
By the way, you didn't specify but if you have an automatic, then there's no way camber/torque steer is the problem. It's discussions like these that make me stop wishing I'd gone with the 5-speed.
