steering wont return to center at low speed

Hi guys. I recently got a new A4 B8 2.0T multitronic with servotronic, the thing is i changed the tires to yokohama Advan sport ZPS (runflats) in 245/45 R17 before taking it from the dealership. The problem i have is that after turning the steering wheel specially U-turns or sharp bend at very low speed (5-10 mph) when i let the steering wheel and accelerate it does not center and i have to turn it with my hands.

Also it is more likely to happen this if i do it on a cobbles street. I really don't know if it is because of the runflats, i did not drive my car with the factory tires. I think that maybe because the tires are heavier-harder and the servotronic is too soft at low speeds, this two things combined could be the cause. I understand that everyone hates runflats, but where i live we have many nails on the street and very dangerous zones. The extra miles i can drive with a flat tire is really helpfull. Oh, i don't have Audi Drive Select thats why i can not test if the problem is because of the soft steering of servotronic, could someone tell me if there is a specific fuse i can take that is related to servotronic??

Your steering not returning to center by itself (especially at low speeds) sounds like a common thing for B8 A4s. It was annoying at first for me but over time I've grown used to it and don't even really notice anymore.
