Any Cure for Tires that have sat around?

[pb3vr6 at yahoo.com (Tonee Northam)]

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.
