Goodyear Excellence RFT Flatspotting...
Have got about 400 miles on my car so far but noticed that if I don't drive the car for about 2 days I get pretty bad flat spots/vibration that take a few minutes on the highway to get rid of.
Tire pressure is okay as well and have an appointment to get the car road force balanced but want to see if anyone else is getting flatspotting problems on their Goodyears. This is my first car with RFT, do they flat spot easily or did I get a bad set of tires? Because otherwise I think I'm going to try to exchange the tires... |

I had vibration problems from day one... Around 70 to 120 km/h I can feel a slight vibration. Somedays more than other. Maybe the flatspotting is the problem. I've had bad tires give me this kind of vibration as well, in the past. The dealer (singular because there's only one) is not very cooperative sometimes. They checked the balance when new and I'm supposed to go back but haven't had time lately.

I was shopping for my new F10 Monday and my SA said that they are having problems with some of the Goodyears, and in fact BMW was replacing them on a lot of E90. But only if people complained, in other words, no service bulletin.
