Default 1993 850 shaking and stiff

So my beloved 850 is shaking around 105 kmh and up. basically in the steering wheel, sometimes more than others. I replaced the bushings and struts last fall and got a wheel alignment done, where they told me the front end was really tight and in good shape. I have switched to a bit wider tire, 205/60/15 instead of the 195/60/15.
As well the steering especially at low speeds is pretty stiff, like its rack n pinion, kind of wondering if my power steering pump is gone or perhaps the fuse is blown, im checking that today.
after the alignment there is still a slight pull to the right.

Any thoughts for the shaking and stiffness?
the car is mint body and engine, so im hoping to figure this out.
cheers

The shaking is a tire, it's always a tire.

The low power steering, I don't know.
