Car handles noticeably worse with Riken full-profile tires (205/55Z R16 94W) which were sold to me for my '96 850 T - (supposedly "compatible" with the Michelin low profiles which were on there before.) Am I over-reacting or is it dangerous to be driving around on these Riken tires?

Thanks very much!

Robert

It's actually quite comfy at 55.

And welcome.
