Prevent Tire Flat Spots during Winterizing

[10/10ths]

...Actually, no. I hate to admit this, but I bought these:

They are stupid expensive.

I have a unique parking situation for my car and this solution helps me with precision parking and Flat spot prevention at the same time.


I honestly can’t tell if they make a difference or not.


I live down south and drive all year long, so my car never sits longer than three weeks.

I think the carpet solution is as good as any.

Just air up the tires and don’t worry about it.

More important is to fill the tank completely with a non enthanol fuel and put some Sta-Bil in the tank and don’t fire up the engine for less than fifteen minutes at a time so you don’t contaminate the oil.

And plug a battery tender into your cigarette lighter and use the factory cutout in the door weatherstripping to route the cable.

Cheers!

I inflate to 55-60 psi and park on top of plywood sheets to insulate from the concrete. Plastic sheeting underneath the car. Sta-Bil in the tank before topping off. Battery tender, desiccant packs in the interior, plastic bags rubber-banded around the tail pipes, containers of mothballs at strategic points around the exterior to keep varmints away, and a cover.

Plywood sheets between tires and concrete is a new idea I can consider. Coming from Wisconsin the weather in Colorado is comparable.
