My son got a deal on a new Crossfire with custom wheels & tires.
The car had been sitting in the same place for about six weeks on display without being moved.
When driving the car just before taking delivery, he noticed a slight vibration at highway speeds only. The dealer told him they most likely needed to balance the wheels & tires.
Next day the manager of the dealer ship calls my son and tells him he just got off the phone with the tire manufacture. Turns out that all four tires had developed flat spots from sitting in the same place for so long.
The manager told my son they had four new tires for him the next day cause the original tires could not be made right.
The tire manufacture told the manager that high performance, low profile tires can develope flat spots if allowed to sit for thirty days or longer.
Any of you guys ever heard of such a thing?
