; D( g% A+ M4 p B; m7 U6 [WHAT: Flat-spotted tire. As the tire rotates the flat spot thumps on the ground. Nylon-cord tires will flat-spot overnight and make this sound until they warm up. It's usually worse in colder weather. You can permanently flat-spot the tires by locking up the wheels, grinding massive amounts of rubber off the tread in one spot., F- [: t( B8 o2 X# d
URGENCY: Nada.
$ W, r6 P3 p7 t, U( M3 V7 s" VFIX: Replace your nylon tires with steel-belted tires. If you've ground down your tires like a pencil eraser, you can either live with the vibration until wear reduces the flat-spotting or buy a new tires.. t" A# Y% s/ x
