Tires... flat spots
These tires must be the softest compound known to man. My 2SS is garage kept and the temp MAY go as low as 50 degrees in the garage at the lowest at night. Every morning when I drive off it feels like I have square tires for about 3 miles or so. It always seems to be the rears too. The bouncing is not fun when I am taking someone for a drive....
I am hoping that summertime temperatures will ease the flat spot problem. Is it as bad in the summer? |

actually many performance tires have this issue due to the rubber compounds that are used,thats why you see the pros always warming there tires up,its not just for show

Yes, Ihave the same problem but once the tires get warmed up they are smooth. Don't worry too much about.

I have to restrain myself here. But, these are high performance tires. They have a very soft tread that is susceptible to this, when the car sits for any length of time, especially in cold weather.
And this is a problem why? Because you have to warm up the tires by driving a reasonably short distance. Lighten up. Heavens, this is to be expected from this type of tire. If it bothers you so much, go out and find a harder compound replacement. It is amazing to me why this is so much of a problem for people. There are a lot worse things to worry about in this world, other than if your tires need to be warmed up when you drive the car after it has been sitting for a long period of time. The Horror of it al! Geez......

LIke when folks run out to buy ceramic brake pads for their daily, then fail to realize they need heat to work like they do in racings.

Oh, I wasn't complaining at all. I was just agreeing with the previous message. It dosen't bother me at all. I just didnt know what it was at first. This is my first street performance car and the only experience I have with soft compound tires is on my 1967 Super Pro Camaro race car with the slicks. |
