rh71 is on a distinguished road
I believe it's characteristic of the X as it is heavier. It got "worse" when I went to the wider 20s from 19s, probably also due to weight. If you inflate them more it may help a bit.

Some time in the past I noticed even my other vehicle was more responsive after I got new tires - I was way overdue - balding tires = more contact patch = heavier to turn... same concept with wider tires (as if weight didn't hurt already).
