Those flat spots didn't just come with age. Usually ball joints, allignment, tire balance or worn out rubber grommets create the problem. Nicely balanced new tires will mask the problem but the new tires will wear much the same way as the old, and without fixing the suspension, you'll get your cage rattled again.
She had been sitting for 8 years and I took her to the shop to get the suspension work done. I don't think I be worrying about the flat spots coming back.
I have all new bushings, control arms, struts, and alignment.
If the flat spots are from the car sitting too long in one position that's one thing. If tires are flat spotted from driving, head straight to replacing the shocks.
