New Michelin Tires pulling
Not sure about your problem but I will tell you the Michelins do not wear anywhere near where the Continentals do. My first set of P/S 's lasted a little over 11,000 miles. I was gonna switch brands but someone had a new set for sale at just about half price so I went with those. I have a buddy on the forum who has a roadster with Conti's and he got 3-4 times as much mileage out of his tires.
I don't spin the tires and I don't fly around curves, Michelins are very soft tires. Next time around I'm definitely switching brands.

I just had Discount Tire take the two front Michelins off and replaced with two Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires and it still pulls to the right. I will also add that you can let go of wheel at any speed while braking hard and it will stop straight ahead and not pull. Discount said the two Continenals for the rear that will replace the Michelins are on back order. I left the car at the local Chrysler dealer to see what they come up with.

Agree. After changing out the tires, it sounds like something is binding and causing enough drag to slow down the right wheel, causing it to veer right. Wheel bearing, brake pad, alignment, tire pressure are all suspect although you checked the last two. When you brake hard, you over ride the slight drag.
Last thought...you're sure it's not due to a crown on the road? My XFs are sensitive to tire grooves and the slope they put on the interstate to drain off water -- the wide tires seem to follow these easily.
Now you have to change the subject to "New Continental Tires pulling".

If one caliper is dragging the car will still brake straight when you apply the brakes but will cause it to pull if it's not releasing all the way.
