Thanks.
I think it's a false premise that stiff sidewalls equal feedback or "feel".
Tyres are hugely complex structures with side wall "stiffness" being only one part of a technical jigsaw, that is often counter intuitive.
Remember, "run flat" tyres have stiff sidewalls and they are way way less than ideal...
