So I locked up the tires going into the transition yesterday and now they have flat spots. Well, it was more of a "lock up the tires to get stopped so I didn't murder a dozen cones" situation, but anyways... I can't really see any visible signs they're flat spotted, but I can definitetly feel it when I'm driving.

Is there any way to get rid of the flat spots? The tires still have a lot of tread on them, so I hate to just throw them out 'cause of this. Would having them shaved a little get rid of the flat spots? Is there any place in town that does that?

Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks!

put them on the rear a do a small smokeshow. LOL that should get rid of the flat spots. I dont know anyplace in town that can shave tires anymore. Maybe talk with graham tire?

Like tony said- BURNOUT

If you don't see a flatspot and you still have a lot of tread left then try getting the rebalanced.

+1 try getting them rebalanced, otherwise do some spirited driving that should even em out.

Thanks guys. I guess I would have thought doing a burnout would wear the flat spot as much as the rest of the tire, so I didn't even think about doing that.

Balancing them might help a little, but I can't help but think it's still going to vibrate because the tire isn't perfectly round.

If you are vibrating at speed then it is balance. If you are feeling something at really low speeds then you have a flat spot.

I know it's a flat spot since I can feel it at low speeds as well as high speeds.
