Any Cure for Tires that have sat around?

What the heck are those on? Got some low-pros on your H2 or top fuel dragger or something? Dayum!

The only tire I've ever had that had the flat-spotting problem is a current set of Kumho Ecsta MX 255-45 and 285-40's. Perhaps the high performance/lower profile types are more susceptible ...

Would it be due to the size or make of tire, maybe a winter tire vs. a high performance?

Our Bridgestone Potenza's sit for about 6-7 months and we've never encountered flat spots.

I would suspect that sitting for longer periods of time will require more
and more driving to work the flat spot out....so at some point, the flat
spot will never come out. It that magic time a year? Six months? Six
years? Who knows.
Try it and find out if these particular tires can be saved.
