I did notice the same thing when I first got the tires. But that was only when they were brand new. After about 500 miles I started to notice better response time from the tires. Mind you I took the same approach to these tires as I do with my bike on the track and I made sure to push these whenever I could around corners. Probably total bull shart but it seems to flex the tires to the point in which they are used to flexing a certain way and they just move easier. Like a new pair of shoes that are stiff but seem to have more flex in them as time goes on (god that's a horrible analogy but the only one I could think of). Not to mention I can drive in the rain without fishtailing now.
