Default Flatspots on tires

I spun my car the other week and have noticed a vibration above 90mph which I assume is related to flatspots.

How long will it be before the flatspots go away? If I keep lighting up the tires and doing sideways drifts then I guess they'll go back to being round sooner!

What sort of tyres are they? If they are road compound I doubt you have flat spoted them, I race on slicks and the compound has to be rather soft for it to flat spot from just a spin.

Did you spin on track or road? If on track you and you spun onto grass you might have lost a wheel weight? Post details.BTK.
