New tires with new rubber ALWAYS will ride better than any old tires where the rubber has hardened, which is the reason tires are replaced due to age. Also the deeper tread will make for a smoother ride than hardened rubber tires with worn tread.
As long as you are happy and saved a few bucks, that is fine but to compare your new tires to ANY old tires can't be done after 10 miles. Wait to see if they last as long as your previous tires and then get back to us.
X2. I say go ahead if its important to you for some reason. I will continue to buy local (or as local as I can).
