I've heard that with this kind of tires that we use on our cars, porsche and such. They are so good, that you are not going to get flatspots. It happens to normal tires. BUT ONLY A RUMOUR!

High performance tires are more likely to get flat spots because of the nylon belts.
Bentley specifiys in their owners manual to inflate tires to 50psi if car will not be driven for a month to prevent flat spots. ( of course Bentleys are much heavier than Porsches )
