@JaccoW I wasn't sure, but when I replaced them, I noticed the difference. Then someone here corroborated with my finding.

I replaced them with Continental GP5000 tires which are very supple and not very puncture resistant. They're not even very durable. So I'm not recommending them to you, but I sure am enjoying them.
