Yeah, after doing those two steps, I'd definitely look into getting your wheels widened(unless you already have 5.5" wheels). I can't remember the name of the place, but I think there is a place down there in Cali that some local Oregonians sent their wheels to be widened. And if you're running 195 tires on 4 or 4.5" wheels, YIKES! You definitely need to get wider wheels on there if you want to be running a 195 tire. Do you know if you have the 4.25 or 4.5" bolt pattern? What year is it?

The Michelins could be part of the problem, but I think even more of it could be related to how much tire you have on skinny wheels. The michelins you describe are decent tires(I would never buy them), but definitely not stiff sidewalled.
