Default Anyone else have problems with Dunlop SP Sport 8000's?

Mine seem to like to flat spot if the car sits for more than 2 days...

I just got back from vacation and the car sat for 11 days. Really bad flat spots...

Steve, had the same tires on the A4 for 3 years and never noticed any flat spots, but the car never was left un-driven for anytime over 2 days. These tires are softer rubber so they should spring back quickly. What do you keep them inflated to, I kept mine at 38 psi.

I keep mine at 38 psi also...

I notice that if I take the car out on the highway for a bit the flat spots disappear.

Everything on that car is against me
