Flat Spots on Tires Due To Extended Parking
Posted by Tim on June 18, 2006
Please advise if there is a method available to remove flat spot on tires due to extended parking, other than replacing the tire(s).
If the tires on a vehicle have developed a flat spot due to being parked for a very long time, I know of no way to remedy the situation if getting the tires warmed up with an extended drive doesn't work. Most people who store vehicles (RV's, classic vehicles, etc.) drive them ocasionally just to keep from flat spotting tires. The casing and belts of the tires can be come distorted due to a lack of rotation. If the flat spot is due parking for a short time period, it typically goes away within a few miles of on-the-road driving.
