A moron driver in front of me panicked at something simple and slammed her brakes. When I went to hit my brakes they locked up, and instead of pumping I tried to just feather it out and well that didn't work... the fronts just stayed locked for a good 3 seconds. Now I have a "dup dup dup dup dup" sound.
These tires are michelin and they have a fair amount of tread left. Is there any way to work out the flat spots? Can I try mounting them on the rear and doing a few burn outs to even out the tires (wear them down to the depth of the flat spot)? If it makes any difference it's an '84 with 15" Fuchs.

I have that problem with my trailers from sitting over the winter. I just take it out on a hot day heating up the tires and somehow I lose the flat spot. Good luck.

Idk why, but I got an effing kick out of that.
My buddy is stupid and likes to slam on his brakes alot for some unknown reason, but he'll just do a few burnouts and it takes them away for the most part. But idk if I'd recommend it.
