I ran the DWs and agree that the sidewalls were not overly stiff. However, I think this made them a better road tire. And the few times I autocrossed them, I ran a little more pressure in them than *perfect* conditions. But they gripped great, wore very well, were fantastic in the wet, and were a bargain considering their pricing. Not to mention being the lightest tires in their performance class.. I'm looking forward to replacing my current street tires with the newer ExtremeContact Sports.
The Indy500 (Bridgestone S003) isn't a bad tire by any stretch, but is getting a little long in the tooth. The newer S007A is probably a better summer tire, but the Conti is a tough competitor...such entertaining choices!
