New tyre problem

I replaced both rear tyres due to a puncture, two weeks ago, with same tyres (Bridgestone RE50's 255/35 90W). BUT there's big difference in the ride?

Can anyone explain why the rear ride is harder and there is more tyre noise?

Generally, the cars balance is not the same - its drives like the rear tyres are over inflated!

Everything I can check appears correct, tyre pressures set using same gauge as before to spec (2.4/2.7bar), tyre size the same, speed and load ratings the same and the same brand/model of tyre etc etc.

I have one nagging doubt about the tyres fitted by e-tyre (best price and only ones with stock) as they came with a Bridgestone sticky label stating Z4 only. I questioned the fitter who called his technical helpline and they confirmed it was okay.

What should I do?

Like others here, no one would do a repair. Still have old tyres in garage with 5mm left.
