Nicole there is a good reason that my car sits for 2-4 weeks at a time. Yours shouldn't. Give the Saab a day off.
My car develops flat spots BAD. I'm running Yokohamas now...they don't do it as bad as my previous Bridgestones, but the first few miles after a month of driving 747's [I've noticed that Connie puts Goodyears on all his whales....] is pretty rumbly.
-Last year, I was doing something under the engine- I think changing the oil...and while the front right tire was airborne...I gave it a spin, absently looking at it while it spun.
Hello! I noticed a serious wobble! The inside of the rim seemed to have a bend that I later measured to be nearly 1/4 inch! And this car drove straight and didn't have any wobble or "tire out of balance" feel below 100 mph!
Check your rims. JM, the Italian manufacturer of most OEM rims builds their wheels out of recycled Coors beer cans....or so it seems!
Normy!
