Tires are fine.

I don’t let my family drive janky ****.

Could be an alignment issue, incorrect camber. That’s a thing to check.

But it doesn’t do it when using only one hand, right or left, as the main steering input.

It really does feel like it’s intentional to mitigate that tiny bit of bias you get from torque steer by reducing resistance at the steering pump.

Back in the day had a buddy with a tricked out MX6. It was leased so he disconnected the speedo to avoid going over contract mileage.

But that car had a variable pump that used speed as one of its metrics to calculate resistance feedback.

The car was a nightmare to drive. Totally unpredictable.
