flat spot will smooth out. If its "out of round" you can find a shop that true's tires. I have my 35's trued every 10,000 miles. They lasy a long time that way. truing is cutting the rubber off in small amount to make it perfectly round. Most of the time the wheel weights are not needed after truing.

I asked about getting them cut and was told no one in town does that anymore. I will try adding some air tonight.

I just don't like the idea of going on an hour long "Cruise" in my rich tuned 408cid/6000lb/high octane gas sucking tank....
