Just fyi... the 205/55/15 is not a recommended size for the car. Look
on the inside of your fuel filler door, the recommended sizes are
195/65/15 and 205/60/15. Not a perfect match, size-wise, but the 205's
are wider.

My guess would be that the wider tire is actually following the grooves
in the road.

During the warmer months, I run a set of 205/55/16's, they do follow
the road more than my colder month's 195/65/15's, but it's not disconcerting.
