It greatly depends on the tire type and construction, there is no one rule that fits all. Put your car in neutral and roll it a foot or so - it will help. But you won't know until you drive it again.

I don't know how long it takes to form but its happened to me. My car was in the showroom for over a month without being moved and you can feel the vibration at 60 MPH. I tried everything but replacing them, what a pain in the ass considering there new Goodyears that the dealor put on when he took the car on trade. I figure I'll just put up with it till I can throw some new rims on.

If they are the stock Michelins, I don't think you will have much to worry about. Strannik has a good point. You also might be able to get them balanced.

My car sits for two to three weeks at a time. I have Yoko dB's and have had no trouble to date.
