HH56.
The radials will develope flat spots too. I have 2 cars and 2 trucks, actualy 3 trucks. a 56, two 88's, an 89 and a 2001. All have radials. If any one of them tend to set for more than 2 weeks at a time (once in whaile as long as 3 months) the radials will tend to have slight thump to them. Nothing drastic but noticable. The thump will usually go away after about 20 to 40 miles of driving.

On the other hand i bought a set of wheels and radials about 10 years ago from a junk yard. No telling how long the car had set. I'm guesing YEARS and the tires were premium 235 75R 15 brand. Those damned things shake the fillings out of anyones teeth at 25 mph. It was low speed vehicle (Jeep) used mostly on the road. It took about 500 miles and hot summer weather for them to smooth out with no noticeable trace of any problem at all.
