DBLXX Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 If you leave a car in storage for 5/6 months out of the year without moving it....would one need to worry about flat spots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptxyz Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 probably best to get 'em off the ground with jack stands. if not that, at least inflate to the maximum pressure. i wouldn't expect flat spots unless the tires go flat or are under inflated to begin with.

davesXX01 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Flat spots are common in cold weather and tires. Happens to my car when using summer rated tires in cold weather. Thump thump thump down the road for a block or two, then all is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02 SilverBird Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Yes you will get Flat spots, if you can't get car off the ground inflate tyres to 55 lbs and get some carpet squares under tyres. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetXX Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I have never had an issue on my Mustangs, but you can buy these from RaceRamps.com if you are concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davesXX01 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 All season tires? B F Goodrich TA Radials. That explains it, summer tires are a different compound. My RE-11's and Conti DW flat spot easily in weather below 40*! My all season Perilli P Zero Nero M&S don't! Those flat stoppers look nice!
