Default Rough Ride

Hey i have a quick question...i noticed that when i first got my car it rode pretty good and it was pretty smooth over bumps but it seems like recently it has been quite rough over bumps...i was wondering what could cause this? worn shocks? I also replaced the tires from toyo proxes 4 to a set of bfgoodrich kdws tires if that may have something to do with it?

check your tire pressure...if not you may want to double check bushings
