what?

I have no idea I was told this by some mechanic at my work I had never heard the term
I bought a car that had been sitting for a few years and dry rot was the only problem

I just didn't know if that meant warping or some other term he was mis using

If my mechanic told me something that started with the phrase "how log can a car is..." it would be time to find a new mechanic.

i can only assume hes talking about the area of the tire thats been doing nothing but being pushed flat on the ground for however long the car has sit.

idk about any specific time frame but if when you moved the car you could see lots of black where the wheels where sitting its probably time for new tires.

i was trying to figure out what the hell you were asking. im assuming about flat spots on tires from them sitting?

I think that is what he meant he didn't say how long can a car sit he just used the term dead spot

well if its been sitting for a few years im sure you have dry rot cracks in the tires anyway so i wouldnt hold off too long on at least getting some used tires thats in decent shape put on it

I was just curious about my truck I've had sittin for like 4 months XD
Didn't know if I had to worry about tires I had bought a year earlier

you mean flat spot, or where the tire will be flat due to sitting in the same spot for a long time.


it all depends, how heavy the car is, how old/soft the tires are ect,

my crawler is heavy and on new softer tires, if i let it sit for 2 weeks or so it will start to flat spot, but i drive it a mile or so and they go away

what u should be worried about are the dry rott conditions, once you are dry rotted, and start heat cycling, the tires are more likely to have issues with chunking or seperating

aka if ur shits dry rotted, change them, dont use them, they are not safe
