HTR3 vs PS2

Last Friday I replaced a set of worn Michelin PS2s with a new set of Sumitomo HTR3s and my initial impression was very favorable to the HTR3s. However, once I took the car out on to the Florida Autobahn, errr I-95, where the posted speed limit is 70, which apparently most people read as "80", I almost immediately noticed a difference. Suddenly the car was being blown left & right by gusts of wind that I would not have felt with the PS2s. This is particularly surprising as the PS2s were very worn out in the back.

I'm hoping this is due to the tires not yet being "broken-in". I have less than 300 miles on them however, with soft tires like these and the aggressive nature of Boxster tire wear, I find this unlikely.

Anyone else have a similar experience?
