Well, we're having a little bit of a bad run with the Zed; propshaft failed and now front tyre issue.
Goodyear F1 front and rear, non run flats, brand new rears but fronts are a bit older and sat on the car over the winter. Car has wheel wobble at 90-100mph (on a track or private road of course), took in to tyre garage for balancing but no change. BMW garage had a look and said new wheels are fine but tyres have a flat spot probably from lack of movement over the winter.
Very helpful chap at Goodyear technical helpline said they might come back in time with some long rounds in hot weather but they might not. Gave some good advice about avoiding the issue in the future - move the car out and back in, store with higher psi with a note on the car as a reminder and how about using it more!
Car might sit for 10-12 weeks max without moving in crap weather and 2-3 weeks at a time also. It does look like the front tyres are trashed from this, any suggestions before I order two new tyres?
Many thx.
