I don't think I will be at home long enough to run the car in the next two months for any appreciable time. It will be a year of sitting at the end of October. Can I safely, let it sit for another six months or it is necessary to run the car and prep for storage again.

-the car clean and covered
-fuel stabilized
-Ctek on battery
-tires at 50psi

I do have facility to:
-turn the engine over on the starter in the future, periodically
-jack and rotate wheels to redistribute bearing loads and lubricant

I'll be out of the country when storage time comes about...
Can you put it on 4 jack stands and get the tires off the ground? I'd be more worried about flat spots on the tires than the wheel bearings. But then again I have little experience in long-term storage for vehicles other than my fire truck.
