tires are mounted in the right orientation. If they are, then start swapping tires front to back. Oh, yes, check all tire pressure as well.
As these are directional tires, you cannot swap side to side without remounting them. Swapping from side to side would at least give you some indication as to whether the pull is from the tires or from your alignment.
I don't like Michelin tires but that has more to do with price than tire quality. If anything, Michelin tires tend to be less prone to out of round, out of balance, or manufacturing defects than other makes, but at least that has been my own experience.
Find a place that has a Hunter GSP9700 Vibration Control System (go to Hunter's site and find out who in your area has one, see link below), have them check the tires for pull. They can pair up the tires to minimize pull as well.
If you have done that too, then there is little to do but look into the alignment again.
You need a print out from the alignment work. As Dean stated, you need to see the cross camber reading among other things.
There really isn't much to align on for the 9-5, just front toes, anything else you need to find out why.
Good luck and let us know.
