Shaved some tire off
So a couple of days ago i was driving and was going pretty fast (ya i know it was dumb to do so) so all of a sudden there were a lot of cars stopped due to the red light. So i press on the brakes real hard and my tires lock up and they start skidding.
So now i have like a big bald spot and when i drive its not smooth at all. Is there anything like i can fill in that spot so it can be smooth again.
P.S ive already rotated my tires so my steering wheel wont shake.

tires with a flat spot are unstable at high speeds. So if you plan on going anywere near the speed you where when you messed em up. Get new tires.

same thing happened to me like 2 weeks after i got my 18s.. i was going like 90+mph then some ****er going 60mph cut me off. no where to go so i slammed on my breaks and was literally skidding for like 7 full seconds.. left a trail of smoke and a bald spot on 1 side of each of my front tires. now steering wheel shakes, but hell i'll live with it. i'm not about to spend no $300 on tires again. its getting better and better the more i drive tho.
