Got new Kumho ESTA SPT's

Got the new Kumho's on yesterday - was replacing Falken's. Not sure if I like these new tires or not... car seem a little more "bumpy" now, as if there is too much air pressure in them... already checked and there's not.

I have 30 days to return and get replacement Falken's but for about $120 more.
Those of you with the Kumho's... what is your thoughts?

Thanks!

I've had my SPT's on for a little over a month now...zero complaints here. The only ride difference I notice (from stock Potenzas) is that it's worlds quieter now. Physical/mechanical ride quality hasn't changed.

i have just passed the 10k mile mark. and love them. dont notice them being bouncy at all. i am running 35psi. it reduced the understeer a lot.

it will take them a couple hundred miles to feel normal.. you have to wear out the release compound.

Well I called the dealer and they are going to replace them with Falkens like I had before. These tires are just rough... the Falkens were great!

The Falkens that were replaced rode better than the new Kumhos.
