Default In a straight road my car slides a bit to the right side. The weel alignment is fine. The tires are

calibrated. It happens even with no wind. What do you think? Thanks.

Default the road crowns down for water drainage...that will cause it sometimes, unless...

the car is pushing severly towards the right.

Default Are you the original owner?

If not, the car might have been wrecked and the frame was bent(hopefully not).

If you have wide tires or high performance tires, they will tramline and be very sensitive to road conditions. My car started doing this after I put my pzero rosso's on. On a EMPTY highway try driving in the oncoming traffic lane and see if the car pulls to the left.
