Most people say that these tires soften the ride tremendously (that you hardly feel bumps) but then makes cornering a bit squishy (due to the soft side walls). Did you notice the "fun factor" being reduced due to this tire? Also are you running a higher (than normal) psi on these tires to gain back a bit of handling?
Well, being that it was an f10, there was comparatively little fun factor to begin with, so the overall experience was so much better that I wasn't disappointed. It did at times feel squishy, and I ran them about 1-2 psi above recommended (though it didn't change all that much).

They worked great in snow, though . Not sure I would go there for the f30 though.
