Are these still on 16" wheels ? If so then your sidewall is so large that the non-RFT tires will be flexing a lot more. I recently put RFT all-season 17" on (for winter) and they feel similarly stiff as my non-RFT 18".

Like cvc said, the only tool you have now is tire pressure. The DW's are a highly-rated tire.
