Hey everyone,
When I give my main wheels a spin, there seems to be a flat spot on each tire, perhaps 1/8" out of round. It's not huge, but definitely noticable if you spin the wheel and look at the tire from above.
The fuselage has been on the gear for over a year, but I feel like I have moved it at least every 3 months, hopefully causing a different spot to be on the ground. I have made it a point to not park on the flat spots recently, but the problem is not going away. Tire pressures have been to spec throughout this time, and the overall condition of the rubber looks good to me. I have not flown or taxied the airplane yet.
Should I look into new tires, already?
