    I’ve always felt that keeping the car off it’s tires for long term storage is better, are tire cradles or jack stands not an option you’d consider??

    If your car has street/road tires, and you park on something other than concrete (carpet squares are great), and you keep forty in them, they'll probably be fine for the season...

    The softer and more aggressive the tire the more and quicker they'll turn 'square'...

    I've found that on my TOYO RA1 track/street tires after one week, even on carpet squares, I'll need to drive the car for 10 min. to get'm 'round' again....

    Hope this helps....

    If you go for a top quality tyre like a Pirelli or a Michelin
