New tires because of more tread have a slightly greater diameter than worn tires hence giving you, (in effect) a higher gear ratio. Meaning the engine is turning slower RPM's for any given speed. I'm sure all you geniuses will come up with comments about the way I worded this but F-off I'm 3 sheets to the wind.

That was funny Smithy, LMFAO
I shouldn't laugh so loud, I don't mind the odd Victorian... as long as they stay in Mexico land
. No offence to Victorians, Smithy left it wide open for me, and I just couldn't resist the temptation.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
I bet you went from sports to touring tires. I've normally found that touring tires have stiffer side walls making the ride bumpier and sports tires generally give you a softer ride and greater feedback of what the tire is doing on the road.
Nope, thats not it... perhaps its something else...
