Default Temporary Flat Spotting

Do you guys have any inexpensive tricks to prevent temporary flat spotting of tires? Since swapping to the RE-11s, I've noticed that the first 5 minutes of highway driving has a nasty shimmy in the steering wheel that goes away after the tires warm up. Granted it's near freezing here in Chicago, and I'm sure that's playing a big role. I've seen people park their cars on crappy carpet runners, square foam pads, etc to combat this but I don't know if that works at all. I'm not interested in dropping $269 for the RaceRamps Flatstoppers. I'm just looking for a quick, inexpensive, easy on/off solution for every time I pull in my condo parking spot.
