Suspension hard after fitting winter tyres

I had new Michelin Latitude Alpins fitted 2 days a go and since then the suspension seems rock hard and I feel every bump in the road. Can a change in tyre make that much difference or have they somehow Censored the suspension? When I picked it up it was locked in access height so I don't think they put it in off-road height when they jacked it up. I've tried cycling through the suspension a couple of times but to no avail. Any ideas?

If you had tyres like NEXEN fitted before, which are soft walled, then yes the ride might feel harder.. Thumbs Up Previously..

^ Could be this but I would check pressures and reduce them if you are a solo user. Thumbs Up

Ordered the new winter Latitudes too, hope it is just the pressure. I'm waiting to fit them as I don't particularly need them right now in St Tropez! Let me know how you fare with them.
