ET Street problem
Fellas,
I just got my ET Streets and took them to the track for the first time. After a few runs of crap, once they got run in a bit they started workin nicely, and I ended up with a 1.71, which for my first time out was pretty satisfying after only 4 real passes.
However, the tires are definitely higher on one side of the rim than the other. Initially I though it was because they pumped them up to much at the DT i had them put on at. However, even at 17#s they still list to one side. On both rims the inner side of the wheel is where the tire is highest. They only barely stand up on their own and will fall to one side easily if poked.
This makes me think that's why they felt so unstable. Of course I have no frame of reference, but I let a friend who drives a Z06 with 17 ET Streets make a pass and he said it was wobbly in a very bizzarre way unlike anything he feels in his car.
Anybody had this problem? How to correct?

On one of my sets I did have this problem. I bought them used so I called CCW who put the package together. I sent him pictures and he said that was due to expansion of the tire from them being pumped up to high pressure and like heating in the sun.
He said I would fine and so I was throughout the life of the tires.
