I think flat spots are only developing when you brake too hard on landing?

But what type of aircraft are you talking about? We've had our Piper parked throughout winter without noticing the air was leaking.... filling it up and checking it revealed no damages. I have no idea about heavier stuff, but my guess is that as long as there is air in the tyres, it shouldn't pose a problem.
