Has anyone experienced tyre flat spots, sometimes after only a day or two of being parked?
The Patrol sits parked in one spot for a whole week, every 6 weeks. And for a while I've experience that flat spot effect after the initial drive and/or the tyre warms up.
But last several months, I've began noticing it sometimes after it's parked overnight... Driving off, I notice that small "thump" every wheel rotation... I can't pin point which tyre it is.
I've never locked the wheels up, so i doubt it's flattened out in a spot from braking. Apart from possibly pressures being a factor, what can contribute to this? Age of tyre, getting softer, harder?
