How long before flat spotting occurs?
My GT3 sits a lot unfortunately (not as much as Arling's, mind you) when I'm away, sometimes for a month or longer. How long does it take to set in? Anyone use tire cradles?

not sure yet. maybe keep the cash or get something else... if i can get what i ask for.
back to topic, i'd get the cradles if u're worried. what would u lose? i'd think Jack has them.

Mine sits for 2 weeks at a time sometimes and I notice a little shaking sometimes. Nothing a few miles of driving hasn't fixed. My BMW on the other hand flat spots after a week. Same PZero Rossos but probably a lot more weight being the issue.

Paul my cousin has a C4S and has Champion 19's w. Pirelli's on it, he told me that the front end was vibrating after not driving it for 3-4 weeks, I asked him if he had washed it and he told me no as I was thinking that maybe he had loosend a wheel weight but it seems to me now that he may have flat spots.

The Michelin rep told me that parking on 2 layers of carpet will help avoid flat spots. In my experience some tires will temporarily flat spot in a month.

dame this is not good. My car sits some times over 2 moths at a time when I am out of the country. I need to try these carpet thing or just buy the Gritos mats. I feel it my car but it alway goes away after driving for 1 hr or so

your tires should not flat spot after a week. I actually really want to say it's impossible for your tires to flat spot from sitting for a week.
