BRZ wonders at highway cruise

My 2013 BRZ keep going left and right constantly and I have to keep correcting steering wheel to drive stright on highway. There is no wind and interstate is smooth, no grooves. Anyone having similar issues?

I took it to two different dealer but one dealer didn't bother to take it to highway and 2nd one says it's normal because of low profile tires...... yeah right!

Alignment is straight. I am worried about steering wheel linkage or springs. Any help or thought would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Thats an oversimplification regarding alignment.
This might mean that you have no toe in.

Toe settings can make the car "wander"

Aftermarket tires? What tires? What width? What amount of lowering? What camber, toe, etc?

Just because a road is smooth doesn't mean there aren't grooves to catch.

Are those figures on the sheet for a FR-S/BRZ? I remember a thread where someone took a twin in and they used WRX specs because they didn't have the specs for the twins in their system, which is completely wrong. Looks like you are toed out in both the front and rear. What are factory alignment specs per the shop manual?
