If I did get flat spots from extended sitting - wouldn't that go away as the tires warm up, or if the car is driven for a few hours/hundred miles?
i'm wondering if it's more an alignment / balancing issue versus flat spots...
can a tire get a flat spot that is PERMANENT???

So do you definately get vibration even after say an extended 20+ mile drive? It's not unusual for a tire to flat spot after sitting about a week. Some tires are worse than others. The Kuhmo XS tires I have on my car now flat spot slightly after only sitting a couple days. It can take 10-20 miles or so for them to completely round out especially in colder temps and they've been sitting for awhile.
