Even at 50 psi I can feel the tire molding to the road especially at low speeds on uneven surfaces.

I'm not giving up yet, I know I'll have to play with the pressure more. My concern is more that this tire is to soft and I'll have to replace it. I hate wasting "good" tires.

I should've bought a RF but it's a learning experience either way.

I just went by size and cross referenced the new replacement of the old Michelin ALPIN tire that is no longer available plus posted a Pirelli tire also.
Unfortunately the positive reviews are most likely from car owners and we don't know how different the new replacements are in comparison to the old until someone tries one. I personally do not have experience with car tires, however several of my friends do and not one complaint, all of them have never returned back to a motorcycle tire.

I know that not everyone likes the same car tires, they each have their preferences also. Some like them softer, some like them stiffer
