The only time I've seen 45 psi in tires are on truck tires. I run 35 psi on my Z. Tire construction plays a lot in if a tire flat spots or not too. I've had other brands of tires flat spot too.

I am really curious as to what is actually causing this, if that is really true. I'll tell you why I'm very suspicious about it.

First off, new cars have a higher tyre pressure and they sit around for quite a while before being delivered, and those tyres don't have flat spots.
Secondly, I cycle a lot. New bicycle tyres often come folded, like, completely folded. You unfold them and mount them to the rim, pump them up and presto - they're completely round and no flat spots, although they were completely folded.
I don't think it's that easy to create a flat spot, let alone if you raise the tyre pressure.
