I also have a little bounce problem when I land. But it happens with all the airplanes I fly so it's not the tires it's me. ;)
 
I had similar issues with the monster tires although my wheel landings are not great anyway but the retread material seems pretty hard. I switched to airhawks and they seem to be a bit more forgiving and also seem to "stick" better on touchdown. Some of it may also be air pressure and there are long threads on that, I am now running 40 psi which seems to work for me.
YMMV

Land at min speed and hold the stick back... Bounce is not tire issue.
The spring gear always provides some "spring".

Do you 3 point or wheel land? If you hold it off and touch down at or near stall speed, even if you skip and hoop, hold the stick back it will settle. You could be too fast and stick too fwd.

Take a video from inside and outside (get a friend to video tape you). Post it on Youtube ad provide link... we will SCORE your landings. :D
