Tires Flatspotting

I'm getting alot of vibration from my steering wheel. I checked all the suspension components, and there is no play in the front end, all the joints look to be in good shape and the wheels are on tight. The PO let the car sit for a long time so I am thinking that the tires may have flat-spotted. I was going to get new tires in the spring, but was wondering if there was any way to check if the current tires have flat spots? Will driving the car get rid of flat spots?

While on the subject, what are best ways to prevent this from occuring other than putting the car on jackstands whenever it sits for extended periods?
