Dave, tell me about flat spots. I have a set of new tires on the 930. its been sitting due to family duties. Every time I go out and drive it, it feels like its rolling over a piece of brick. Slowly, it goes away after 5-10 miles of driving.

Or you guys could just, you know, drive your cars on a regular basis. :p

You have little ones running around the house. I think you know what is like to not to be able just go out for a drive. Don't tell me, your 930 is your daily driver.

It is for IRS purposes. :D

(Just a little joke, Mr. Tax Man. I'm claiming the Honda this April 15th.)

Yeah, a 930 for a construction co. will go down real well with them.

Just claim that the tail is a good tie-down.

The grill on my tail is use for BBQ for my crew during the lean months where I can't afford to wine and dine my them. Beside the muti function tie down.

New tires are squishy. Give them a week.

I didn't notice anyone asking the question: Are the new tires the same spec as those on the other end of the car?

Clearly the only solution is to sell the S2000 and buy a BULLIT MUSTANG!!!

Sounds perfectly normal to me at least for some tires. I've had several sets of new high performance tires that felt very squirrely initially. It usually clears up in 50-100 miles. I have not noticed this on Bridgestone RE-11.
