All 4 tires were replaced with brand new Conti DWS a year ago. I'll look closer at all my bushings and struts.

Your running a tire that has 540AA tread wear rating. The tires that came on the car stock were Extreme performence summer withs a 220 AA rating. This is a winter/all-season type with a low temp rating compound. This is a tire that was designed for a SUV weighing in at about 4000#

You could change every suspension part on your car and still not be able to flex this tire to get performance in a 3000# sport convertible.
