The only time I've raced at PIR was at the 12hr race and the only tires I locked up were the inside (albeit rear) tires going into turn one and the hard right turn onto the back straight.

Yeah I can see how that would allow the tire to lock up. I guess I thought that if that was the tire that had the flat spot, it would only cause a vibration in left hand corners. And that in right hand corners since it isn't loaded on, the vibration would be minimal (if at all).
