TyPe~~R

On the motorway, I had to brake very suddenly from 100+mph and locked up the brakes. I slid for a bit then got control of the car (1997 STi Typr R). Now it seems when your driving that you are running something over. Its a bit bouncy if you get me?. it is almodt like there is something on the tyres at the front so when they spin, its not round. like an imperfect wheel. I have had a look at all the tyres briefly but cant tell anything wrong with them. My front passenger side needs replacing because it is a bit worn.


Any Help would be great.

You put 'flat spots' on yer tyres then, if you locked the wheels at a ton then most defo flat spots, they may wear off or you might have to get a new tyre/s fitted.

By that you mean where they were worn when they locked up, so its not properly round?

Yes mate, if you can imagine a tyre 'locking' in one spot and your doing a ton ,then this causes a 'flat spot' on the tyre,distance travelled at speed and tyre not rotating,=flat spot, i'd get it replaced as it may now be a VERY worn tyre, possible blow out
