Anyone running Bt016's?

I just put a set on my 06 12ss and the ride seems much harsher (Notably, on decell I get tons of front end vibration.) I'm running 32 hot front and 30 hot rear. Haven't started adjusting the suspension yet, but was wondering if anyone has felt the same thing and what tire pressure are working with these?

THANKS!

From my experience Bridgestone tires always provide a harsh ride. I just switched to Conti Sport Attackt from Bt016s. Conti recommend running the tires at 38frt - 42rear. Even with the much higher psi the ride is much smoother than with the BT016's. If I was you I would run the tires out but switch to something different when the time comes. The BT016's are very good handling tires just provide a harsh bumpy ride.

Just did my first track day with BT016's and they are awesome. I love them. For me they were better than the Corsa III's. I haven't had many rode miles on them but they seem ok.
