You can flat spot your tire if you don't have abs and lock up your tires under braking. But since we have abs, most likely this applies to you:

Too many damn flatrate shop guys just set it up on the rack and adjust the front toe...that's why you need to see the printouts.

God damn... those tires look like they've been through a straight up Rape-storm. It's too bad your tires aren't the type that emit red/blue/green colored smoke during a burnout.... it would have been funny to see a faint colored smoke stream constantly coming from your cars tires as you drove everywhere for the entire month.

gotten an alignment yet? just curious. Also, not sure exactly what the "uneven wavy" pattern looks like, but if your toe is very far out of spec (like it appears to be judging by the tire wear) theres a condition called "diagonal swipe". it produces diagonal flat spots across the tread of the tire. if you look at the tire from the side and the condition is bad enough, you can see low and high spots in the tread. food for thought

If you had an alignment right tire pressure good struts and didn't do figure 8 burn outs then your tires shouldn't of worn like that . Even with the negative camber these cars come with .. That's why I was asking if your car has ever been in a wreck ? Even so the person who did the alignment could of just threw it out of wack if he didn't know what he was doing or the machine wasn't calibrated properly . Just my opinion .

gary, there are kind of 2 conversations going on here. There is the OP (Atsang), then Ndianx asked a separate question on flatspots.
