The Metzler flat spot

[RocketEd]

My "new" Metzler has about 1500 mi on it and is about halfway gone to the point that it has the flat band in the middle. It's already starting to get the weird handling sensation. Has anyone ever tried to round one up ?

What I do to "round mine up" is use a lot of throttle coming out of corners. "Honest, Officer, I was just trying to make my tires profile safer." Don't know if it'll make a difference, but it sure is fun.
The tire getting flatter in the middle will affect the handling IMO and your getting to that point quickly instead of gradually probably makes it easier to notice. I also noticed that replacing the front tire at 13K (on my Standard) made it quit wanting to fall into corners.
