Winter Storage Question

[Calypso]

Any one suggest jack stands when storing for the winter or should i not worry about flat spotting if its only gonna be in storage from nov 1- april...
Dont wanna flat spot the drag radials... they were not cheap..

All I do when I store a car is:

-Wash/Wax vehicle
-Fill up gas tank and put in Sta-bil
-Disconnect the Battery
-Throw a car cover on it

You can put the car up on jackstands to prevent that, but I have never flat spotted my tires in storage and my 97GT sat for almost a year once. Hope this helps.

I keep 50lbs of air pressure in the tires to help preventing flat spot while in storage.

I drive it every 2- 4 weeks short drives when no snow on ground.

^^^^^^ same except I make sure there is also no salt dust.

I might suggest drier fabric softener sheets in engen bay. I always get mice nests around intake mani. Some say to put them under tires so mice wont climb up tires.

Like Cheif Gilly, I too pump up the air pressures. I do about 45lbs.
There is also another thread on here that talks about winter storage:

since you have Drag radials, i like to either put it up on jackstands or at the very least put wood under the tires. it's not just flat spots but the cold in the ground takes the oils out of the tires and makes them hard and dry. so your tires will not be as soft and they won't hook and good
