Flat spotted tires.

[93accdpj]

So, Some dope pulls out right in front of me the other day. I was going @ 65 on 2 lane luckily with nothing coming the other way. I still had to jam on the brake to get slowed down enough to get over without redesigning my front end. Now my 2 fronts are flat spotted so bad that I cant drink coke while driving my car cause I will start foaming at the mouth. This thing is shakin' like a pomeranian passing a peach seed. Is there any way to true the tires off again, or are they done? They are pretty new, and dont have many miles on them. I'd hate to have to replace them.

If it's not too bad, you might be able to have them shaved down... It sounds pretty bad, though!

You could always put those on the back. The vibrations aren't nearly as bad that way. I have bent wheels, and I leave them on the rear. Well, now all 4 are pretty banged up... but still... lol

I ad to replace mine. maybe a quick burnout to cut the corners?

I guess a burnout would be the poor man's way of shaving them down...

Quick, cheap, and easy. thats how i like my cars.

I thought about a burnout but I figured they would start to bounce, and somehow just make things worse. The tires are like $85 each. I guess I will have to find out how much shaving and rebalancing will cost, compared to 2 new ones.

Did you get road hazard coverage when you bought the tires? You might be able to have them replaced...

just pour oil on the ground and hold the e-brake. it won't bounce......

might as well make a video of it while you're at it and post it, lol. later.

Same thing happened to me a few years ago and once last summer. The 1st time around it wasnt too bad they got even by the next oil change since i ended up pumping my brakes so the tires would still rotate.

The second time around i ended up just replacing them luckily i picked up the wheels and tires for cheap. So it wasn't like i lost out.

haha yeah that mite work, but without abs on the early cb7's if you lock up the brakes the tires will "skid" on the pavement. its just like when u lock the brakes on your bicycle as a kid to make skid marks. it wears the tires down prematurely in one spot, and you will need to replace them.

Light em up...

suffer through the vibs so you don't waste your tread

I don't think you car is burnout ready...stock engines are not designed for the maintained high revs that takes...your engine take the chance if you want

check if you have road hazard...or replace them

[Losiracer2]

yeah that really sucks you dont have ABS, But the burnout seems like the best idea. I doubt there's any other way to fix it.

[wed3k]

shave them.
