IMHO, I thought flat-spotting was a relic from the bias-ply tire days.

Hi Karl, I don't know much about it but since your tires are so new (and presumably the correct spec!), I guess you should be careful with the dollies. If they cause a bump in the tires where the tires rest, then I would for sure proceed with caution. What if you get your local tire shop to mount some old/no good tires on your rims so you can store and preserve your new tires? Then the cost to you would only be the cost of changing your good tires off, and then back on to your rims, when your project is complete. cheers, g On Sun, Sep 8, 2019 at 6:20 PM Karl Ploessl wrote: > so I finally decided to work on the body of my 81 Vanagon Jenny Westy.
