I have about 36 to 37psi all around. Before I had the fronts to about 31 psi and it didn't feel right, lots of dead center feel. When I added pressure (up to 36) it helped a lot.
Now I feel like the car wants to go to the right a little instead of straight.

On my previous car I had Bridgetone tires that did something similar. The shop couldn't get them to balance properly. It turned out that the tires were detective, the steel belts or something. Take them back to where you purchased them and see what they say.
They have balanced them at least 3x and all the time they balanced quite ok(0/0) on all but then after a few days of driving I feel the vibration again then I go back to get them checked and sure enough they were out of balance again(not 0/0). They told me that probably the wheels and tires were shifting making them off balance every time. I even had them "road force balance" 2 of the 4 tires which made a difference.
