Flat spots on front tyres

[richwill]

I have noticed that the front tyres have flat spots on them. I had a problem with budget tyres I had fitted a couple of years ago and had these replaced with Continental Vanco tyres after spending time on the forum researching what others were running on their Bongos.These were recommended and I thought I had seen the last of the problem with flat spots. However after a while I noticed a regular bumping as I drove along which I initially put down to poor road surfaces but today while working on tidying up the Bongo before the worst of the winter sets in I checked the tyres and found both sides had flat spots. This is what is causing the bumping.
I have a 2.5 diesel aft and it is used regularly so I dont believe the flat spots are from being stood for long spells and the tyre pressures are correct.
Does anyone have any idea what the cause is.
Cheers Rich

I had flat spots on my 4wd aft 2.5 diesel last year, I changed them for Michelin van tyres and there really good. Don't know the cause though.
