Bump steer question

Question about what I am experiencing when driving.
My car has stock suspension and is NOT lowered. Driving at higher speeds (40mph and above) I notice the car like to wander on its own. My first thought was this was a bump steer problem but I have not touched the suspension. I am running a bit wider tires 245/40/18 and thought these might be the problem.

Driving the car straight on the freeway sometimes the car wants to change lanes on its own.
Any ideas?

Get an alignment? lol... Your tires may also be worn causing tire pull. Check your tire pressures also

Fairly typical of the stock Evo suspension, but your wider and lower profile tires definitely aren't helping. An alignment can't hurt though.
