car feels funny after changing to summer tire/wheels

Hello,

I haven't used this setup since November, but ran it for about 6 months before that, so I thought I would remember it more. I definitely remember being in love with the setup, even if the ride quality wasn't that good obviously.

After switching back to this setup today, I am not happy with it and it feels off to me. It feels as if the alignment is off, it feels as if a bump will make the steering turn very slightly, nothing crazy but enough. I feel like I have to have both hands on the steering wheel and don't remember feeling like this last year..I remember feeling like I was incredible precise, and had so much confidence driving. I remember the change from OEM tires to the RE-71 being very drastic to me also BTW, not liking the heavier steering, but once I got used to it, i fell in LOVE and said I would buy these tires again, for the good confidence in driving. Even the winter setup made me feel confident, now I kind of feel like the steering is just a little bit off. Is this normal for the extra grip and I just forgot? Do I simply have to get used to this again? I have the tire rotation facing the right away, the tires were stored indoors, and I filled each tire up to 35psi btw.

Thank you for the help!
