Default Tires?

So the garage find special had been sitting on flat tires for quite a while and now after airing them up to 30psi, the ride seems a bit "jittery". When I had them balanced and rotated, every tire wobbled. Our guess is that that was where the flat spot was. Rims all looked true.


My question is: Will the flat spots eventually work their way out? Tires are about 90% (Goodyear Eagles) and in date code. I'm thinking that flexing them a bit and getting them warmed up might rearrange things so that the ride will smooth out.


Your thoughts?

Best bet is to replace them. That wobble can destroy other things on the car if left untreated . . . crappy stock bushings and shocks being first
