Incompatible, thank you very much for that. I'll share that with the tech tomorrow.

ANUSTART (I'm not sure where to emphasize your name ) - I think the break in definitely helped a bit as the tires are now stiffer than in the beginning, but I'm still not 100% sold on them.

I'm thinking the alignment is contributing to the weirdness, as I took the car up to 100 and it was extremely unstable and fluttery. Hopefully the alignment tomorrow will help , and will help me decide whether I'm gonna swap these for some summers or keep them as is. Nonetheless, the soft sidewalls are definitely the biggest shortcomings of these tires. The initial instability I noticed is the rolling that the tires do on fast turns...

Jeff, I noticed the slipperiness too, and I've put on about 600 miles so far. They have improved a bit but the tires are still pretty slippery. Thankfully I replaced all 4 so mixed tires is not in this equation. I can only imagine how that would feel.

I'll share what I find after the alignment tomorrow.
