Any recommendations for tires that minimize flat spotting
Shopping for 3rd set of tires for the TL. Currently have the Toyo Proxes and they are good tires but do flat spot when cold and I hate having the car shuddering down the highway for 10 to 15 minutes until they warm up. Has anyone had experience with similar quality tires that don't flat spot or at least warm up more quickly?
I am also looking at the Continental ContiExtremeContact......
Thanks

Tire Reco
Try the Nexen N3000 tires in sizes 245/45/17 or 255/40/17. I have had no flat spotting even after sitting outside for 5 days. Traction has been exellent in the dry and the wet. They have a 340 tread wear rating and are very inexpensive. I tried them with the thought process that if they were no good, I would throw them away and get something else. I am very happy with them so far, and I chose the 255/40/17 size. Click on my icon and look for another thread on 255/40/17 tires mounted on stock rims, and you will see pictures of my tires on the 8th page (I believe). They look great, are nearly silent on the road, and handle very well. I might get them again if they hold up over time. So far I am very pleased. I bought them through www.tiresavings.com.
