Hi,

Flatspotting isn't as much of a problem as it was in the past. This is because Kevlar has replaced Steel as the preferred Belting for a Tire. It has much less memory than Steel. The Tire cradles are OK and probably do the job, but they are half the price of a set of tires! If you inflate your tires to 58PSI when stored (as Porsche recommends), you'll pretty much avoid the issue altogether. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
