Hey Guys,

For you who garage your car for the winter, do you worry about getting "flat spots" in your tires? I was told that jacking the car up for the winter is bad for the suspension, but letting it sit is also bad for the tires. Let me know what you guys think on this...

pelican i use flatstoppers under my G and Z. they work great. i still turn them 1/3 of a turn by hand once a month just to be safe. i use 42psi in the tires.

before i used flatstoppers i turned the tires by hand every 3wks at 42psi. no issue on the ground.

Save your money. You won't get flat spots if your car sits for a few months. If your still concerned, move your car back a couple inches every two months.
