i've thought about that, but the mileage is deceiving. The car never sits for more than a week at a time. I sometimes run it to work on Fridays, which means the car only goes 10-20 miles that day, then it sits for a week.... then I'll take it on a longer trip...but normally, it never sits more than 5-7 days before being moved...

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???
