Flat Spots on Tyres
 
Is there any way to get rid of flat spots on tyres, my second pair of W-5031s has a flat spot on each tyre, one worse than the other, and one pair atleast of my OT-66s has small flat spots

My guess is that if time and pressure did that, time and pressure will remedy that... Try to get foam inside the tires, and put some extra foam on the inner side of the flat spot, thus creating a small protruding bump. Leave it like that a couple of weeks, maybe a month, I think that would cure them.

I always leave all my cars "jacklifted" when they are not in use to avoid this. Spare tires also always keep them resting flat.

Good luck!!

Try boiling water. Makes the rubber more pliable and can let you push the flat spot out again. You can either try and work it out by hand or stuff the tyre with foam inserts before dipping it in hot water.
