I've got an old sports car sitting in a garage. It is sitting on its
Dunlop tires. The car sits for six months at a time. I have never
noticed any "flat spots" on the tires related to storage. Car spends
most of its life under a couple of sewn-together bedsheets.

My '67 GTO has Coker Redlines on it. After sitting for several months they
develop a small flat spot that is noticeable for a couple of miles, then
they round out.

My old car is a 1959-60 model, and British, so there's no assurance that
even if the tires were round, the wheels would be.

Or that it would start and the lights work.

That was a problem with the MG-A I once owned, but not with any of the
other Brit cars I've had, including a TR4, a Lotus Cortina, a real
Mini-Cooper S, and the Jag I still have. The knock-off wire wheels need
attention from time to time because they do go out of round, but that
hasn't been a problem for me; I rarely drive the car.
