What are flat spots?
When a car with high performance, low profile tire sits too long on a hard surface, the tire loses its shape and develops a flat area where the tire contacts the floor.  Parking a hot tire on a cool garage floor exacerbates the problem as the soft warm tire gives to conform the the hard cool flat floor. There are two types of flat spots, temporary and permanent.  Temporary flat spots will round out as the car is driven over a period of time.  Permanent flat spots do not round out and the only solution is to replace the tires.  Many temporary flat spots can become permanent over a short period of time.

How do TireCradles prevent flat spots?
