8 E3 s3 R) H1 u. q: HWHAT: 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.0 V- v5 `$ [4 L- W- s
URGENCY: Nada.
9 m( A; A. T3 u( n" p2 I8 HFIX: 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.3 D. j2 L: Q4 s1 m, B' x- B
