I know it doesn't help you now, but since you are stuck with them, I'd put a few more PSI in them, to help stiffen them up. What tire pressures are you running right now?
I was running 40. The tires stiffened up after only a few hours, but after 200 miles they are still unacceptable. Gotta wait it out and see what happens after more mileage.

I might have gotten the PSS if they were available in my size; but after this experience I'm much more likely to stick with Michelin.
