tires with a strong sidewall?
i've had the kumho ecsta supra 712s for a couple of years, and they're all around pretty good tires, but i keep getting bubbles in the sidewall... they're 17/205/40, and i know lo-pro tires are prone to this, but do you guys know of tires that have stronger sidewalls that don't bust as easily?

nah they are street legal dot. many autoxers use them because they are dirt cheap and they grip nearly as well as R compounds.

yeah i just threw that out there as a joke.
although i will be using Toyo RA-1 (DOT R compounds) on the street because I don't want to swap wheels for autox events all the time.
