Default Tires flat spotting when parked?

My continental pro all seasons vibrate as if unbalanced when driving after being parked for a while. As the car warms up the vibration disappears. Anyone else had this symptom?

I recently purchased the Continental DWS tires and am experiencing the same vibration after the car is parked for a while.

Thanks. It is not a problem if that is all it is. Just mildly annoying. I certainly prefer a good ride if I can get it and still get good grip and handling.

Yeah... My Pirelli P0's do the same and they're new... was a bit annoyed at first but realize the sacrifice is necessary... Anyone try to bump the pressure up a bit...?

When I was buying the car I made them force balance the tires/rims because of the slight shake I was worried about. It turns out it was the tires flat spotting. It does go away and some tires are much worse than others. The Pirelli tires that came on my car are known for doing it and there are quite a few complaints online about it. I'll buy another brand when I have to pick up a new set.
