Flat spot prevention???

Is it just me or are all of these people being sucked into a product that has no merit?

Physic demand that the only way to prevent them is to move the tire often or take the weight off of it.

I agree. Seems bogus to me.

$78.00 !!! I think $7.80 would be a better price .
Drive a little bit more and problem ( if there is one) is corrected.

Flat spots on tires disappeared with bias ply tires. If radials, especially run flats, are kept at proper inflation there are no flat spots that will be noticed.

Frankly i have not heard of flat spots on tires, in years.

I have, but they were 40” bias ply off-road tires on my Bronco that I ran under 10 psi. After sitting more than a few days it was brutal, but it was fine after a couple of miles.

The Pilot Sports on my C4 will flat-spot terribly if the car sits for a while. Same is true to a lesser extent with the Kumhos on my Blazer.

Yokohamas on my '63 haven't shown this problem, nor have Firestones on my pickup.

Raising the air pressure during periods of extended-duration storage seems to help.

I've never had a problem with that. Now a bald spot, however...

I could see bias tires flat spotting but radials? It is kind of unusual.
