Flat tire feeling in my eg
What would make my car feel as if it had a flat? I was driving home and could hear something funny coming from the tires. The tires are fucked, cambered to death on one side and recently flipped so I could camber the outter layer that wasn't cambered yet. Could it be the tires falling apart?

Re: Flat tire feeling in my eg (psychotic)
did you check your tire air pressure on all 4?
is your alignment off?
how is your tread?
and when you check ur tread, if it looks like it's getting worn a wrong part of the tire, you probably have an alignment problem.
but i'm guessing you probably have low air. check it out.

check your air pressure like he said...also, are you hearing like that "thump, thump, thump" sound? if so, then your tires are probably worn really bad and may be choppy...if your tires are choppy then it would make that sound when you're driving...run your hand across the inside and outside of each tire, you'll be able to tell if they're choppy...and tell me what you're hearing, because it could be a couple of other things, if it's not your air pressure

you might have a flat spot on your tire, my friend has that going on, and his car has a noticeable bump that varies with speed, and at higher speeds, an audible clunking noise.

Re: Flat tire feeling in my eg (Briman2021)
I was noticing some thumping the past couple of days on my Civic. I checked the two rear tires pressure and sure enough it shoots the gauge all the way out to pass fifty. I think there is definately something wrong with the two rear tires. What would be causing the pressure in there to be so high that it would shoot the tire pressure gauge out to fifty? Even after letting air out it was still malfunctioning. I checked the two fronts and they were perfect.
