Default new 07 le pulls left at high speed on some roads

I have a 07 le with steel rims and bridgestone tire.
At high speeds it pulls to the left (approx. 5 degree compensation at 65-70mph) on some road surfaces.
Mostly on concrete, but also on some asphalt.
By high speed I mean over 55mph.
On new asphalt at 70 it runs straight. road switches to concrete and the pull is there
The dealer has aligned it twice which has helped some, but it is still there.
It does not change with acceleration or deceleration, only speed or surface.
Below 40 its not there no matter what the surface is.
Could it be the tires? If so how would I prove it is the tires?

Please give me your thoughts

Thanks in advance

dude its the road. it doesnt matter your alignment, gravity, angles, road design, and materials used will make a difference. yes some tires do trammel but i highly doubt the bridgestones you have do that.

most of our cars, when new and 10 years down the road perform the same on similar roads, so it doesnt matter if its new or old or has different tires or has a perfect alignment...sometimes things are just the way they are.

as long as you've gotten it checked out multiple times, you should be OK.
