Tires out of round
Hey everyone I bought some tires off of someone and they seem to be out of round. We worked something out on price but they are out of warranty so I am stuck with them. Is there any way to fix this problem? Heat them up somehow? I know I can try to rotate the tires and let some pressure out of them to try and help with this. This is on a lifted precedent with 23in tires and if I don't fix the bouncing the wife is not going to want to use the cart. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Re: Tires out of round
I have Sahara Classics on my DS, and they flat spot bad when the temperature is cold.
That linked thread tells pretty much what I have experienced. And it gets even worse when it is cold, and I haven't run it for a few days or weeks. How much air pressure do you have in them, and what kind of tires are they? Aflyer |

Re: Tires out of round
My tires bounce as well and are 23" steeleng's which are out of round. You know it's bad when your two year old starts singing "people on the bus bounce up and down".
I had the two worst ones put on the rear. If you can find someone that can shave them down, that may work. |

Re: Tires out of round
Most all tires will get flat spots in cold weather. Tires on my car have flat spots if I let it set a week or so in cold weather. They are top of the line Mechelin.

It's cold. Jack the cart up and get all 4 tires off the ground. Leave it up for a couple of days then take it off the jacks and drive immediately. I'll bet they're smooth.

Re: Tires out of round
OP, you might consider purchasing high speed UTV radial tires rated at 62MPH. The Kawasaki Mule these are used on easily run run 45+ MPH.

I have ITP tires on my cart. It sits for months when it's cold and they don't develop flat spots. And I've had them for two cold seasons... ITP has a long history of making quality tires.
