Go to a Goodyear store and have them check them out. This happened to us on an auto back in the 80s. Goodyear took care of us, back then.

If it is a tire out of round, some tire shops have the ability to shave a tire back to round. Since you are under warranty, that would be a last resort.

You may find that you have a bent wheel. If that's it, placing it on the rear may reduce the effect. But again, if it's warped, warranty should make it right.

Very rare to have 4 or 6 out of round tires on the same vehicle. Most likely "flat spots" from sitting so long in the same place, underinflated. Sometimes you can drive flat spots out over a few miles with heat build-up. Other times it becomes permanent damage in the belts, especially if they are steel belts. Good luck with Goodyear doing anything if that's the case. I would think the dealer would be on the hook for this.

Inflate the tires to the sidewall psig
The dealer will do that when checking them

As already noted sitting in one spot underinflated will take some time to work out and possibly won't
