Why Are These Tires So Bumpy?
I bought a set of Kumho*Ecsta ASX tires today and noticed that I can feel every little bump in the road.
Prior to that I had BFGoodrich*g-Force Super Sport A/S (W-Speed Rated) tires.
I never felt as much bumps with BF Goodrich though.
So what's the reason the Kumho's are so much bumpier? I'm seriously thinking about returning them.

Have you triple checked that the tire installation shop hasn't over-inflated your tires? While I'm not familiar with Kumhos riding characteristics and their sidewalls may be stiffer than the BFG's you replaced I have a feeling that tire inflation may be at the heart of this problem. BTW, what size are you running?

I just bought them yesterday and so they should allow me to exchange them. I guess like you said maybe the Kumho's have stiffer side walls. I was just trying to save a few bucks.
