2. What tires are being used on both cars? brand, width/height

3. Is his also a T-sport?

do you mean nicer as in smoother ride?
the wider tires could help absorb bumps and smooth out the ride, including adding the benefit of better handling.
also, should your tires be at 27psi? is this an attempt at softening things up?

yes what i mean is smoother ride, the 27psi is how the yaris came from factory, now normally here in Malta we do them 30psi but considering that the road surface is not that smooth i like to so them even 25psi but as the yaris came with 27 psi i left them like that.

its really funny cause the bigger the rim the rougher is the ride cause you'll have less tire for the car to bounce on, but believe me between these twp yarises its working the other way round!

Could it be my tire compound is harder?

Likely more to do with differences in sidewall stiffness between brands.
