Continental's ExtremeContact DWS and DWS06 both have a tendency to flat spot after even a couple weeks of sitting around though the flat spot comes out after a few kms (or a light heat cycle). My TSX sits around a lot now with WFH and every time I drive it there's the familiar "thud thud thud" sound of a flat spot.

When I stored my Miata for the winter I put the pressures up to minimize flat spots - I think I went up to 40-45psi.
