Square Tires!
I am tired of having to trash thousands of dollars worth of tires every two years because of Flat-spotting.
both the ZR-1 and the Pace Car feel like they are riding on square tires. Nittos and Firestones. Yes, I have tried all of the road force, balance and others, to no avail. Does anyone have any experience with tires that are less prone to this? Has anyone used these? http://www.discountramps.com/flat-stoppers/p/RR-FS/ I don't like driving onto a lift, then onto those flat stoppers, but this is driving me nuts! Suggestions? Thoughts? Thanks!!! Marty |

Re: Square Tires!
Goodyear GS-D3's have been my choice since the Gatorbacks were retired at 6K miles. I've gone thru 4 sets, but now I have to swap them out due to tire age. Plenty of tread left. They wear great but don't like to drift when it's cold. Summer only high speed turns... [emoji16]

You can also get drive on pads that support the curvature of the tire.. http://m.autoanything.com/garage-acc...iABEgKh4_D_BwE Sent from my XT1585 using ZR-1 Net Registry mobile app |

Re: Square Tires!
Waste of money! Drive the car every ten days for 15 miles to get them in shape -again.

Re: Square Tires!
With all due respect, I assume since he's having issues with flat spotting, he either cannot or does not take the cars out routinely to prevent this..

Re: Square Tires!
I put 45lbs air pressure on the cars I don't use and never had problems with flat spots.

Re: Square Tires!
Max psi, plus another 10psi.
For storage. When next use it's easy to air down to preferred psi ...and it forces you to do a visual walk around inspection while car warms up a bit. I'll drive a few miles, find a highway where you can put some heat into the tires via speed (100mph).
