I recently replaced the factory Pirelli tires on my 2016 PP with Michelin Sport 4Ss. Discount Tire only had the rears in stock and had to order the fronts. My Pirelli rears were very worn and rain predicted so I had them put on the rears while I waited for the fronts.
3 or 4 days later, the fronts went on and I noticed a change in how the car drove.
Until then and even from new, the Mustang would slowly wander one way or the other. Not bad but more than any other car I recalled. It didn't pull, and it went one way as often as the other. But when the Michelin fronts went on, the car tracked straight as an arrow. I can take my hands off the wheel for very long distances on a straight freeway.
I had checked the alignment at about the one year mark and it was totally symmetrical with every number exactly what Ford spec says or well within the range, so it was definitely the front Pirellis that were causing the wandering (if that's the right word).
