I have the rubber band effect with 195-60QR-15 snow tires on 5.5" alloy rims...nothing I've ever been able to do with these tires on less than 6.5" rims (ask me about the 77 280Z sometime!) so I tolerate it...you get used to it even though you never LIKE it.
Had the same problem with street tires for several years until I got rid of the tires and put on Michelin MVX4..not the best tire but good in rain and the price was right at COSTCO....they have a stiffer sidewall and after an alignment my swervy went away!! Remember, there's often a tradeoff between quick turn-in and oversteering....If I could easily switch to 16" rims and tires with 50 series rubber I'd probably do it for the summer.
