HELP! New Tires Feel Unstable

I just installed 4 new Continental ControlContact Sport AS tires on my 135i. I'm coming from the factory run-flats and I went a size up to 225 in the front and 255 in the rear.

I was expecting it to drive different but my steering feels extremely loose and nowhere near as precise as before. It's very noticeable going 60+ mph. I can wiggle the steering wheel and the car doesn't respond and just feels very unstable and unsafe. My Lancer from 6 years ago felt more stable than my 135i does now.

Do wider tires need an alignment? That's the only thing I can think of because it was driving just fine before I had the tires installed...
