    After getting about 2200 miles out of a set of Bridgestone 020, I decided to go for some Pilot Road 4's.

    So pretty much immediately I noticed the ride was harder; anyone else notice this and if so have you tweeked the suspension to suit?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Are tyre pressure correct? Tried lowering them a little? I've never adjusted suspension for different tyres.

    Yes I suppose, tend to keep them close to 39R and 34F.

    With so few contributions to this thread I decided to speak to a suspension specialist today. They confirmed I would highly likely notice a difference in the ride given the tyre types and that it would be quite okay/correct to set about making a small suspension adjustment to suit; backing off the compression a smidge to being the best starting point.

    Just thought I would post for what it's worth.
