I'm rising the pressure to 50 PSI and let it sleep for 6 months....

Set tire pressure to 60 psi and put wheels on styrofoam

Excellent results with 4 styrofoam plates 1.5 in thick during winter sleep.
Prior to roll the Boxster onto the plates I pump the tires to 60 psi.
When starting up in spring, reduce the pressure back to normal and you will drive away with perfectly "round" wheels.
