Sidewall Flex?

does anyone seem to have this problem on their gen 3, or is it just me?



this happens even when the tires are filled to the recommended psi, and just fyi: it was about 60*F when i took the picture, so there shouldnt be a big psi drop

yeah the thinner the side wall the less "flex" it has. when i was looking for tires, i was told that i could go with 215/60/15 for the flatter/smooth side wall.

Sidewall flex is for little boys. Real men keep it stiff.

Low profile FTW.

That is normal sidewall flexing. Do not be concerned about it.

camber+ sidewall flex+14s=death

Low profile tires, especially summer only tires, have a much stiffer sidewall carcass, which is why they dont flex.
