Thread: If someone pulled out in front of you while you were at 60mph & you slammed on brakes

flatspots.
as much as it seems like a bad idea...get the shaved/trued
I had a friend of mine who did this for years for semi trucks,as well as aliggnments.He did a set of all terrains on a truck I had that got flatspotted once that were half worn out.
He always said that by making them round again they will last longer,even if they shave alot off....he was right.
The tires will just wear everywhere when driving,so the flatspots wont go away on from driving.
Truck tires are expensive,so they want to get every mile possible out of them.

With turbo you don't even have to worry about getting them shaved. Just WOT it in first gear a couple times and it will magically get shaved down itself.

Worth a shot

How can you not lock up your tires with stock brakes? I've locked up my tires a few times lol. I'm 99.9% sure flat spots, as everyone else said heh

Its gotta be flat spots. I just tried doing a few burnouts but it didn't seem to help. Going to rotate the tires now hopefully it wont be as bad.

Oh and I have no idea, the stock 200sx brakes with 16" heavy wheels I cant lock them up. crap pads too

Yep confirmed, tires are ruined. Unlessyou like driving on what feels like cement blocks

Yess, burn off the uneveness. I locked up mine back when i had just finished painying my b13. Swerved 3 lanes over to not hit a deer at 65mph, i swerved the wrong way i think, i almost missed it. Guined my whole drverside again after i had fixed it from the same dammage. The yies were flatdpotted, a good birn out on some rough pavement, then some smooth concrete or pavement should do the trick.

I rotated the tires just now, much much better, but now the rear is still kinda bumpy. The tires have lots of tread in most of the spots its a shame to have to get rid of them. And they are mounted on 15" gunmetal slipstreams. Keep and eye out guys for the set for sale for a good price since 2 of the tires are fucked.

BTW it was a Miata that pulled out in front of me from a stop sign onto a highway. I firmly believe if I hadn't seen her or hit the brakes she'd be dead and I'd be in the hospital.

Flat spot forsure, happens to my winter tires all the time.

Happend to me years ago in my classic & a few winters ago on my tacoma & I replaced the tires. Theres no way I would have driven like that, seeing since I drive 150-250+ miles a day.
On my b13, I drove back to LA from SD & following morning got new Potenzas.
On my Tacoma, right after it happened I drove straight to local shop & got new Toyos that saw 80k miles in 16 months.
Old tires,I kept them & sold them locally, got $100 for all 4 potenzas in 03 & I $60 for the Hankooks in 09.
