Trekkor,

Learn threshold braking... flat spots occur when you exceed the threshold, and they will reoccur becuase you squared the tire, and when you brake hard it will naturally find the flat part of the tire, and it will get worse.

At least your not in F1 where it could break the suspension and the tire almost hits you in the head (ala Kimi Raikonenn).
