Default new tires diffrent feel??

I just replaced my tires, i went from potenza s-03 to a set of falken azenis. I love the way the falkens grip, but its very diffrent in the handeling. It almost feels like the sidewalls are alot softer and they give when u change directions. The tire sizes were both the same 205-50 15. anyone else have this problem? Other than that they are great.

p.s. Cant wait for the expo 4

lemme guess you are on stock wheels right?

azenis+stock wheels=mushy turn in response

azenis+15x7 wheel, ala K1's, ATS complites=Ms. Cleo turn in response.

Yes - 205/50 Azenis should be on a 15x7 wheel ideally

But is the S-03 with the same tire size narrower? Or is the sidewall stiffer than the Azenis?

S-03 is narrower. The Azenis 205 is like a 215-225 on other tires
