MT DR Flat Spot When Parked?

[Liberty911]

Installed MT Street Radials (295/55/15) and it appears the soft compound actually develops a flat spot after heating them up and letting them cool when parked on hot asphalt. Granted, its been HOT here with average air temps in the high 90s to 110, and the flat spot goes away after the tires heat back up. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and if there are any significant issues with this.

Hasn't been an issue with mine. Now I have had that issue with bias plys but not with radials.

I had this happen with ET streets but never with the radials.

Same thing happens with my M&H's. I've been keeping them on the car and I drive the car once a week.

Thanks for the responses. These are brand new and I think after a couple heat cycles it will change. It was just kind of strange until I realized what was going on.

I run the 295/55 - 15's and have put about 400 miles on them, driving to and from the track 3-4 time and every time I pull it out of the garage, I feel that thump, thump, thump of the flat spot's on the tires. I wouldn't look for it to just go away, but, like you said when they warm up it is goes away,with no lasting effects.
