I am driving on my 2nd set of Bridgestone original equipment rear tires. They have only 2500 miles on them.
Ever since I got the tires, they seem to develop a flat spot when the car sits overnight. When I drive the car the first 2-3 miles the next day, I can really feel the flat spots in the tires.

Is this normal, or are the tires defective?

 

Never heard that one before... Your location says arizona, maybe the tires are really really hot when you park and are soft... they flatten a bit (melt heh) then cool overnight .....

Yes, I just made that up out of thin air... Cause thats a new one for me.

 

Jim,
Your opinion on this is valued.

 

What COLD tire pressures are you running? Should be 32 minimum. Many of us run 35 psi to help even out tire wear a bit.
If you are checking and pumping up your tires when HOT, this may cause flat spotting by morning, even in AZ.

I keep the tires at 32psi, when hot they get to about 35psi

My tires typically have flat spots for first couple of miles. Seems to be worse in cool weather. Car sits in garage and outdoor temps have not been above 70 in three months I have owned the car. Pressure is 32 psi cold. I am not unhappy about this but am bemused since it harkens back to the first nylon bias belted tires many years ago.
