VPMotors replied to the thread Flat spotted tires fix.Oh yeah, it got flat spots because it was parked for so long. When I said I filled it previously at a much colder temperature it was for...

VPMotors replied to the thread Flat spotted tires fix.It was about 50F when I readjusted the pressures to the recommended spec. They were at 37psi front and 35psi rear initially (I had...

VPMotors replied to the thread Flat spotted tires fix.Yeah I'm not going to jump on the decision of getting a replacement set till I see whether they replicate that behavior in warmer...

As this started in early November (with cold temperatures(?)); it's more likely the tires were underinflated causing vibrations, or...

A-salting the roads like they work for McDonald’s!

I’m dying to pull my car from storage! We had a hard rain the other night and the roads are clean, so 🤞. Trying not to get my hopes up...

Yeah…it’s been a harsh winter and I’m ready for lasting warm temps too! It’s been up down up down here for the last month-ish. Because...

VPMotors replied to the thread Flat spotted tires fix.Yeah that's a fair point. Man I can't wait for the temps to go up! Seriously debating switching to a milder tire with a higher side...

Not sure how far you drove, but it used to take about 5 miles at highway speed for tires to round out again. I had some brands of snow...

BTW, where in Maine are you? I usually drive up to Rockland every summer to visit my friend in Vinalhaven. I love that state!

Good point!

Keep in mind that just because it’s 40°F outside, doesn’t mean your tires have reached ambient temps while sitting on an enclosed, cold...

VPMotors replied to the thread Flat spotted tires fix.Yeah definitely learnt my lesson. Flatstoppers look expensive but seem like a good investment now. Fingers crossed I don't need a tire...
-
VPMotors replied to the thread Flat spotted tires fix.Yeah I'll see if it improves by next month when the temps will go above 40F, if not I plan on getting a road force balance. If I do it...

VPMotors replied to the thread Flat spotted tires fix.I have heard conflicting opinions about the overinflating of tires (when driving to straighten them out, not for storage). I did go for...

VPMotors replied to the thread Flat spotted tires fix.I don't have pictures but it got progressively worse as the winter approached. Never drove it below freezing temps, but did drive in sub...

If you do have flat spots, they may straighten out in time. I’ve read that over inflating them a little can help, and warmer weather...
