No, lower profile tires will not help. Because if you have a more high performance lower profile tire on a larger wheel, you'll actually get "road tracking" as some call it, where your tires will follow irregularities in the road. My 18" tires follow road grooves that my 15" tires just roll right over.
I'd say if it's a constant and predictable problem, like it's pulling to one side constantly, an alignment should fix it. See if the dealer will re-align it under warranty.
If it's going back and forth both sides, there could be something more involved.

Thanks for the info, I understand what you are saying about lower profile tires. Not that the car pulls in any one direction, just does not stay on center without having to constantly adjust the wheel. Thanks for the post
