Default cheap tires..the cons

my kumho 711's are giving me a jiggly ride when i'm driving it at mid speeds, i suspect the sidewall's of being too thin and too flexable

to demonstrate, i parked the car on a curb at a 60degree angle, i got out of the car and looked at the wheel that was resting on the curb..the sidewall looked flat..i mean it looked crushed..i pulled out the pressure gauge and it said 41 psi..air is okay..

since the sidewall isn't stiff as i thought..the crosswind stability is horrible...

mad, what's a good 195/50/r15 tire' with a stiff sidewall?

that is why they stopped making the 711's....they separated too easy and when u get a flat the sidewall goes out fast. if you wanna stick with the kumho's i recommend the SPT's
the SPT's are what replaced the Kumho 712 Supra's. I like the SPT's good traction, good wear, been running on them for about 12,000 so far. and plus i work at a tire shop so they are good tires:

Wait when you checked the tire pressure was the it a cold tire? You will get a higher pressure read if your tires are warm. Anywho now I know I wont be getting 711's then. Thanks.

I use those:Matador Aquilla MP 41, and they are stiff. Inflated at 2.2 bar, and also provide a good protection for the rims.
