Car Not Tracking Straight at Highway Speedss

Does anyone else feel like the vehicle is wandering at highway speeds? It is especially abrupt on concrete freeways with slight drainage grooves. The dealer said it was the tires but I don't think that's the case because I have another new car with the same ContiProContacts that doesn't exhibit this behavior.

I did have the steering re-torque done as specified in the recall but it made no difference.

Does anyone else have this issue and if so, did the recall work make a difference?

The aerodynamics of the car don't "feel" particularly great, so that could contribute to the wandering at high speeds.

EDIT: You also had an older thread about the exact same issue here: http://www.nissanclub.com/forums/201...t-freeway.html

Should probably just continue the discussion there because it does have relevant information.

Thanks for the input. I thought I'd ask again because there are a lot of new owners on the forum now.
