Giant flat guard or Conti Gator skins?

So I've had my Giant Defy 2 for a few weeks now but I've noticed yesterday that the rear tyre (Giants own pr3 flat guard) has developed a strange problem. There is one part of the tyre that seems to have a slight intent in it - I can only describe it as an inverse bulge. Its not massive or anything but I can feel it through the saddle on very smooth surfaces. I've tried to re-seat the tyre with no improvement.
The question is should I be asking for this to be sorted under the warrantee? I have an almost new set of conti gatorskin ultras in the garage which I could throw on there. On the other hand the Giant tyres didn't seem too bad so maybe I should insist on a replacement.
Opinions please.

When i got my 2010 defy, the biggest thing that changed the ride was to slap some gatorskins on there. I doubt that the tyre would be sorted under warranty, but i'd still pop to the shop and ask. Don't get anywhere without trying.0

I should have mentioned - I bought the bike off the internet so its going to be difficult to nip back to the shop.0

Send them an email and ask then!0

Will do. I'm assuming you're saying the gator skins were a substantially better ride - if thats the case I'm half inclined just to put them on.0
