    With the colder months, the tyres park up warm and cool overnight. So where tha tread sits on the ground the nylon of the plies and the compound can "set" a flat spot.
    The colder the temperature and the lower the pressure, the bigger the flat spot.
    "Can't" is a dirty 4 letter word.
    Best way to deal with a "Can't" is to chop off the "t" and brew it in boiled water for a few minutes.
    Sip on the "t", and consider what you've got left to work with

    That sounds very much like a real possibility with Hodgey’s home garage location too AB Mate @Hodge Mate is there any chance that you’re coming off the Western Ring Road (100kmph) with tyres potentially Hot and parking up relatively quickly in our lovely Victorian winters when it’s experienced?
    AB got me thinking here that both Winnie and I cruze on home those last few kilometres, 80kmph for me down to 5kmph of wet dirt roads before the old shed queen parks up possibly the difference?
    Hose your tyres down before entering the garage maybe ?

    You are dead spot on genius Marko mate. Handbrake is up within 500m of getting off the wonderous disaster of the north ring road...Counting Kenworth exhaust brakes per hour on the other side of the sound wall is how close I am to it.
    Arfas words have merit. Especially considering the pressures on the lower side I've been running. But as mentioned above things have gotten better with 40psi per corner...

    On second thoughts, I think it might be quieter over your neck of the woods Hodgey Mate Some Feral Arsehole just honked at me outside in the dark, nearly/almost caught my little pecker in thy new Levi’s

    Hey mate,

    Yeah I get horrible flat spots on my tyres and take sometimes 30 mins to get enough warmth in them to get them rounded out. However as you I come off an 80kmh road and park it up straight away. It also doesn't help that my patrol doesn't move for months at a time.
