Further to my recent post about car batteries what would the tyres be like after a few months in the same position?

I recall reading (long time ago) that they would be slightly deformed by standing for a long period. Is this still the case?

Tyres do tend to flat-spot if left standing, some makes more than others, and there are shaped cushions that can be used if the car is in winter storage.

However, a few weeks' standing is unlikely to have much effect and any flat spots will even out after a few miles.
