well its starting to get pretty cold around here, and my 328is will be spending most of the time in the garage. Is flatspotting of my tires something i should worry about? The car might not move at all for 2-3 weeks at a time. I have Potenza s-03's by the way. Thanks.

I find that during the cold months even after the car sits for a few days or week you get it but within a few miles or mins of driving it goes away.

I guess you can inflate the tires a little higher than normal if you intent to store it for a few weeks at a time.

I've heard of these things called "tire cradles", they're supposed to help reduce flat spotting by 90%.
