Default Toyo's and flat spots?

I've had my '11 new TC for a few weeks now.

Love the car but have 1 beef...

I'm in the Great White North so it's winter. When i leave the car in the garage on the (freezing) concrete floor over night, the toyo's get vicious flat spots...

For the frist 5-10 minutes while driving it feels like i'm driving on train tracks!

Once friction heats them up, they go round again.

Anyone else notice this? I've felt it on other cars before (my Pops has a z4) but no tot he same extent.

thought i'd throw it out there. Didn't find a thing with search.

Both my stockers and aftermarket tires do the same thing. Totally normal for these type of tires.
