I've noticed with my SP9000's that they will be out of round for a few km after the car has been parked for more than a couple of days - more of a mild annoyance than anything else. Have any of you experienced this? What about those of you with PZeros?

YES!!!

But I've noticed this with every max performance summer tire I've had since 1996,when my C4S came with S02's.

As you say, just an annoyance, as I have about 6 miles of slow roads before I get to any high speeds.

I've not noticed an out-of-round problem with my P-Zeros. Currently on second set @ 25K miles on car.

There's a US made version called Tire Cradles and can be ordered from HERE (http://www.tirecradle.com/tcradle.htm) .....or you can make your own version using a "comfort flooring" product available at most home improvement stores. They have worked fine at preventing tempory flat spotting on my weekend cruiser. :D
