My Contis looked like that from new - dealer showed me other vehicles with similar. I did 10,000 Km on mine with no problems before I sold them. Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

My original unused GG TR spare wheel tire, as well as one of the original GG TR tires on the running wheels has very similar unevenness as your Contis. You see it and you feel it when going over it with your hand. Never bothered about it, wheels are perfectly balanced, and roll like that their 6th summer now.

You can see it here at the 2 of the 235 and at the R of the 85R of the tire size...

I have the same tyres and I have noticed the same on my spare. I put it down to simply the way all the belts and chords are assembled.

As my car is over 3 years old I'll live with it.
