What to do about flat spoted tires?
1 Attachment(s)
Well, turns out my rims werent bent, two of my tires are actually flat spoted :(
Any idea what I can do about it? Shave them, replace them, or get a whole new set? (I cant afford a whole new set right now, and these MX's still have a ton of tread left and only 8000 miles on them) |

Note: These are daily driver tires too
Right now, im thinking of just replacing the two bad ones and running it like that. I did that before after I had that run in with a rock a couple years back and had to replace a tire/wheel, worked fine... Those tires were far more worn than these too. |
I've heard that you should shave the two new tires on AWD cars. I don't know the specifics of why the advice was given, I just know it was given.

If you get new, IMHO you should shave them to within 2/32nds of the others.
Since you will likley end up shaving anyway, why not try shaving the flat spotted ones. If after they are still within 2/32nd of the others, put them in the rear until the good ones wear down to their level in the front. |

Next time leave the ABS activated. Would have saved you some cash and grief.
