Just bought these to put on the van and realized how squishy the side wall is. Anyone had issues with them being to flexible? They look like damn balloons on wheels under load, bulging so severely that one would think I got the wrong (too wide) size :wtf2: The side wall is paper thin. I could stand on the old unmounted tire (than came off the van) and it would support my 220lbs frame, but one leg would cause the conti to fold into half circle.
They come with high praise in my M forum, but no way these get put on the sport sedan! Quite disappointed from the start, cannot really tell anything more yet, except the ride is smooth like '70 buick - no S***!

input welcome.

I have DWS tires on my Honda and don't notice any bulging at all. Is there a date code on them? What air pressure are you running?
Got any pictures?
