I think it would have to be a very extended time to cause an issue. Mine sits all winter so approx 4 months in an unheated garage and the flat spots are brutal when I first start driving but are gone within 10 minutes.

Maybe with other tire brands it would be an issue but I haven't come across that yet in 20+ years.

I think if you have already heat cycled your tires it may be less likely. I know for a fact that new tires will flat spot in about 3 months if they are left to sit.

You may be correct in that it may be brand specific.
