Default New tire ?

Alright for all you all forum surfers I know i posted this in the road race forum but i got no replies so if you could help me it would be apperciated.

I recently bought some new tires, falken ziex 215 40 16 and my question is...dont know how to explain it but with these new tires my car seems to float on the road. its not as responsive as before when i turn hard it almost feels like my car is gonna glide off the road, not from under or over steer, just weird dont know. Could it be these tires have a softer sidewall and thus give more in turns. Oh yeah I came from having 215 40 16 kuhmo 712's. dont know much bout this just tryin to figure out why my car is doin this.
