No more pulling

My car used to pull and follow ruts in the road. I can still feel undulations in the road but I don't have to fight it with the wheel to keep the car straight.
I just installed 205/55/16 tires vs 205/50/16 on my 9-3SE. We didn't get an alignment so there was no other change. They're Firestone FZ50s. They're much smoother/quieter than the Michelin Pilot HXs and seem to grip at least as good. Haven't pushed them yet.
On the FZ50s the sidewalls are stiffer and the tread patch is softer. I got them for $73/tire. The only catch is that they're a closeout which means if I have a blowout I'll need to buy at least 2 or 4 new tires.
The difference in ride is similar to the difference between stock dampers and the Konis. I'm sure both the size and the tire itself has something to do with it. I'm currently running 35psi all around.
