you should check your front end out...ball joints, tie rods, axles, etc.

what kind of wheels are you running? Do they require hub centering rings? Do the tires have a broken belt or anything?

also when was the last time you rotated tires? Tire pressure? Run ur hand long the threads and feel the tire...any bumps or lumps on it?

Have you had to slam on the brakes recently? I did that one time and it caused a flat spot in one area on two tires. Good Luck

wow...that's some impressive stoping power to cause flat spots on two tires...usually tires get flat spots from sitting too long...never heard of the braking too hard one though...although i guess it could happen...
