New winter tires are going to have taller tread blocks than the used tires you have gotten used to. Winter tire tread blocks flex to grip, you are probably feeling this as well as the slick tread mold coating that needs to be worn off. You can make the tires wear more evenly and last longer if you rotate them front to back every 5,000-8,000 miles. Check the tire pressure as mentioned; most tire shops I deal with inflate tires to their maximum pressure. A sticker on the drivers door jamb will tell you what to set them at.
