How wrong I was! The only thing the Pirellis improved on was steering response. Everything else went downhill.... noise, ride quality, etc.

Putting the Bridgestone RF tires back on and sucking up my pride. Thankfully, tire shop offered to refund my money.
I did the exact same swap on my OEM 21" wheels (square setup) and couldn't be happier with the Pirelli's (verde scorpions).

Keep in mind there is a break in period with tires, 500 miles or so, which may be why your not liking them but who knows.
