tinner,
Sticky tires will degrade over time, same as any other tire. The tread 'grip' will degrade as they get older (harder), but starting from a position of higher grip will still leave you better a year or two down the road.
Flat spots are not really an issue I have noticed. I think that is more an issue with the billboards and Avons, which are bias-ply tires as compared to modern radials. modern radials will not flat spot near as much. Get a nice set of 17" rims, put good raidals on, have fun.
