Default run flat tires

Has anyone experienced "flat spots" when the car has been stationery in the garage a few days that go away after driving a distance or won't go away at all?

Took it out of garage last week after winter storage(4 months)
No problems with tires.
Note I have z51 and had tires up to 40 lbs. I did the same tire pressure thing for years with my 98, again no problems.

Temporary parking flat spots are not uncommon, but the EMTs are better than other tires cuz they are so rough riding it's hard to tell.

Notice a little "flop" after being idle for a few days -- usually goes away within 50 yards
