They do seem to ride a little different. I have to run down south today (about 50 miles each way) so I should have a pretty good feel then.
Whats the problem with them?

My only other experience with GY was when I bought my Buick GN in '92. The PO had put 16" Camaro IROC rims on it with the GY "Gatorbacks".
With the shift kit it had in it, when it shifted from first to second, it would spin the tires pretty good. The more you wanted them to spin/more sideways you wanted to get, you just gave it more gas!
Don't get me wrong, at 22yo I liked that A LOT! But went through the back tires in about two months.
Replaced them with I think BFG Euro TA's and they never spun again

At the price of 20" tires I will probably run these down as far as I can though
