Yeah, it may have been more the bike than the tires. The Tarmac has a "snappier" more responsive ride, and it could have been lighter, stiffer, etc. from what you're used to. There's more to the ride than the tires, but you may notice a difference in ride quality and responsiveness between different tires (treaded/all-condition, slicks, different brands, different types of rubber, etc.) as well as with different widths of the same tire.
