Arrow Flat Spots on Tyres

Hi All,

When I bought my 450 SL it was sitting for quite sometime. The tread is excellent but I think that there are flat spots on the tyres from sitting on one spot.
Will they or can they go away?

Thanks
Jack

flat spots

they won't go away and they will add vibration to the mass of the spinning tire causing heat build-up and tire failure.
