Default Comfortable 19" tires

OK tire guys,

My 9 year old Bridgestone S03s are done. Got 10k miles out of the rears. They're mounted on 8 and 10" RUFs. In looking for replacements, I'm trying to find some tires that give a more comfortable, less noisy ride. But the most important for me is to find tires that don't flatspot after sitting for a week. I have new Michelin PS2s on my hollow spokes and they flatspot as bad as the S03s. Funny, I have other Michelins Pilot Sports (not PS2) on my wife's SL550 , and they have no problems sitting and not flat spotting.

Anyway, anybody have REAL WORLD experience with 19" tires that stay round after sitting for a week? What about some of the less expensive tires like Hankook or the Continental DWS? My current tire sizes are 245/35 and 285/30/19.

Thanks for any advice/ideas.

No problem here with PS2 and my car sits for weeks at a time. I've heard good things about the new Michelin Super Sports.

conitinental sport contacts work well and can sit without flat spotting.
