Jamal, I would give the tires a chance to break in before you make your final judgement on them. I often hear the "tread squirming" complaint on our BMW's on every tire from the Pilot sport to Dunlop 9000's and back again. PLease remember that your older worn out tire had much less tread depth (like a worn out pencil eraser) and was much stiffer than any new full tread depth tire including the RE730. For comparison sake imagine a full pencil eraser being your tread block. It would have much more "squirm" just as your tire does now, but as you wear it down it will handle much crisper. Just a thought, as I see this reaction many times every day for various tires. Just my $0.02
Thanks
Aaron
