Michelin Synchrone tires are notorious for riding in a lumpy fashion from temporary flatspotting while sitting parked. It was a serious problem at Land Rover dealership when I was the "off road guru" at the local dealership in 2006.

People would come in to test drive the brand new Range Rovers and LR3s and they would ride like crap for the first ten to fifteen minutes until the tires got warmed up.

The key to temporary flat spotting was it did it at all speeds not just at certain speeds until it went away.

I have Synchrones on my RR HSE and they will do it occasionally still but mostly on cold mornings after the truck has been sitting for a few days.
