for flat spots from standing. |
| Flat spots from standing cause vibration, like an
incorrectly balanced wheel. It is important to recognize a flat

| Flat spots from standing cannot be corrected by balancing,
and can occur again at any time under various circumstances.
Flat spots from standing can be corrected without complicated
special tools. Providing that the flat spot was not caused by
