Has anyone had experience with a tire that randomly developed a flat spot from one day to the next?
I don't think it matters in this circumstance but it's a 2019 Ford Expedition Max Limited Stealth. Daily driven by the wifey on the highway every day. I say that because I've been a shady tree mechanic long enough to know that if your vehicle sits for an extended period, it will develop a flat spot. She said she didnt hit any curbs, didnt slam the breaks and didn't hit any major pothole.
So googling and search the forum on this issue is tough because I am only getting results for flat spot from sitting to long. But its so strange. From one day to the next, it developed a bad vibration. Truck was pulling to the right. Wasn't hard to find the flat spot. I would say there is about 45% tread left on the tire. I hate to just buy one new tire versus getting them all done when its good and ready. Ive read stuff where guys have over inflated the tire for a 100 miles and apparently fixed it to some extent. Granted its the wife and kid school and sport truck, Id rather not risk it.
Anyways, Ive never heard of a tire randomly disforming so I thought I would throw it out there and see if anyone had experience with that on any vehicle.
