Given the size tire you're talking about, I would tend to believe that you
are running them WAY overinflated for the size car they are mounted on. No
wonder they don't feel right!

Try running them at the car manufacturer's recommended pressures.

BTW - The figure on the tire sidewall isn't the tire pressure "rating". It
is the MAXIMUM pressure to be used when subjecting the tire to its MAXIMUM
loads.

Normal, every day tire pressures are usually quite a bit lower.
