Sounds like your alignment is off, maybe they messed it up when installing the new tires. Does it pull when you brake or all the time? If it pulls only when braking it is the camber which may or may not be adjustable depending on the car. If it is pulling all the time, or you have to keep your steering wheel off center to drive straight it is the Toe which is easy to fix.
