for the fact that the DWS's I actually 'Fondled' at the dealer's had the Softest, most Supple Sidewalls I have EVER seen on a car tire.
Hell, these are significantly softer than the sidewalls on the Pirelli Diablo Rosso's on My 600 RR , which are barely disguised race tires and sold as such.
Pressing out on the side wall on the 'demo' Conti DWS ,from the inside with my thumb, resulted in a distinct thumb shaped bulge on the tire's outside sidewall. Reassuringly, only for as long as I held it there :-)
In all honesty that sidewall is Very Thin and Very Soft. Seemingly entirely devoid of Belts.
Seriously Gentlemen: IMO a few bungled parking jobs (Yes I know, never let the Wife drive it... But then I'm not always a perfect parallel parker either.. are you? and it would be either holed or worn thru.
No joke, no exaggeration.
Also wonder what would happen on impact with a decent pothole?? Yikes!
IF not for these perceived or imaginary (??) concerns, I would have happily had a set of these on my car.. last month.
