If flat spots won't come out after some driving, I would consider the tires junk and irresponsible to drive on them. All it takes is one emergency maneuver and you are out of control and in the blink of an eye someone is killed or injured for life. Because you didn't want to buy new tires.

Yep, buy the best tires you can afford. And by best, I mean max grip. I avoid max life because long life tires are generally hard as a rock with poor grip. I guess if you're a grandparent that drives like you've got Miss Daisy in the back, that might be OK. If/when I start driving like that, run me off the road and into an abutment.
