Default car rides like @#$%

Do any of your cars ride like s--t in the morning when the tires are cold?

"Ride like ****" is a very vauge term. Do you mean has a hasrh ride and or/vibrations? If so, that is normal, especially if you have more of a performance tire installed.

I only drive it every so often and when I first get it on the road it's almost like the tires are flat spotted.Anyone know what's the longest you should let a tire sit in one spot like that?

Mine flat spot (Kumhos) within a day or so. It always goes away after a few miles so I don't worry about it. If I leave it for months on end I put it up on stands but that's pretty rare.

check your air pressure make sure all 4 tires are all the same PSI. If they are oem size times then you should have 30psi in them just like it tells you on the door to have.

i have flat spots in mine and there just street tires but have tread wear of 300 so the softer the tire is where you get it.
