I have (SS rims)275's all the way around on my car. My car follows any imperfection in the road, tugging at the steering wheel. What should I do to correct this? I have welded in tubular SFC's and a STB. Is this bump steer?

You might have better luck with this post in the Wheel and Tire section. It's called trammelling and it's pretty common with larger-width wheels. As for what to do to correct it, I'm not sure. I'm sort of re-learning how to drive mine, since I only recently upgraded to 17" rims.

Yea, its caused by a wider wheel/tire combo. I changed my alignment around some and it made a noticeable difference.

It's directly related to the overall height of the tire in ratio with the overall width of the tire. It also has to do with sidewall stiffness and alignment.

Hit the nail on the head. It's the ratio, known as the "aspect ratio." If those 275' were 75's instead of 40's, you wouldn't have the problem. But then they would be too tall. You can look for cheap tires that have a soft sidwall, or just get used to it. A little toe-in should help also.
