At first I thought they were quite stiff and harsh going over bumps and holes, but quickly realized that was because the installer left them at 42 psi. I now have them down to 32 psi and they don't seem much different from the stock tires. Slightly firmer but not jarring.
First impressions are good on them. All around better than the stock Goodyear territory at/s. Better traction on wet pavement, feel more solid on dry pavement. I can tell they'll be better for snow as well with much more siping and 3 peak rating.
They are queiter than the stock tires as well...
