[s-cars] Odd S6 Vibes

[LL - NY]

I too, like Bob, had the tire flatspotting experience regularly with
the Dunlop SP8000. It took a full winter of sitting (yup, she's become
a garage queen) to have the same ordeal with my Falken FK451's, but
once they became warm, all is smooth again. I think it is tire brand AND
model related, I recall having the same issue with one set of my mostly
Autocross
(didn't see daily driving too often) VW GTi, but I can't recall which of my
street
tires tended to do it.
