Put some new tires on today. Changed nothing on my suspension. Just new Toyo Proxes T1 Sport and realigned car. Steering feels a little mushy now. For example, if I turn the wheel, it feels like the tires take longer to re-center than the steering wheel. I think I've just never driven on a tire this sticky before. Any other ideas? Something I should look out for? I think I'm being overly paranoid but just want to confirm. Thanks!

What did you have on before? It's possible the sidewall on the new tires is just softer than what you had one before.

Pirelli P-zero before, now the Toyo T1 Sport. I was thinking that too.

All new tires have a mold release agent on them and are not in their full performance envelope (maybe thats all youre feeling)

Give the tires 100 miles of street scrub & let us know

Thanks. This is my first set of new tires in 8+ years. Probably just forgot how they feel.

An alignment can definitely affect steering feel as well!

It's aligned to the same specs I had before. I think the sidewalls are softer, and the tires are stickier. Feels normal otherwise.
