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.

Just check their location first. If they are in Victoria, the thread has anything to do with riding and there are no pic's....
