Detached from the house. 2"x6" frame with no insulation. I'm smh as too how cold it got here two years ago. Sustained cold 10-20 below, for several days straight in a row. My damn house was making noises during the wee hours of the night. I could hear the house creaking. Then,, there was the sound of an M80 going off in the middle of the night. The next morning, I notice that one of the pressure treated 4"x4"s holding up my deck had exploded. Snapped right in half. If it gets this cold again for several days, I'm thinking them tires will be one of the first to go and say bye, bye. Oh well.. Isn't everything in life a Gamble? |

If the tires are not disturbed or touched in any way they should be fine.
The rubber will harden as the temps drop, then soften up back to normal as they warm up. If they are stressed when they are hard, that's when you have a problem. The hard rubber will not flex at all when very cold, to the point that adding air to the tires will cause them crack. If you don't do anything to make the tire rubber flex at all, they shouldn't have any reason to crack. Like back in science class with the liquid nitrogen. They would freeze soft things like a flower then make them shatter when cold. But if they froze a flower and let it thaw, it would be soft again. Extreme example. |

On this topic, which jackstands do you guys find fit best under the car? I've had some nice cool cars, but this ('18 ZL1) is my first NICE COOL car, and I don't want any marred-up areas from jackstands. Are you wrapping the jackstand cradles in foam or a rag or something, or using blocks of wood between the car and the jackstand?
The smallest ones I have are the HF 1.5-ton aluminum stands. Forgive me if this has been covered here - first Camaro and I'm new to these kind of specifics, but am a moderately-skilled mechanic (I do all work and mods on anything I own unless it's warranty work). |

I think ZL1addons makes a couple different sets, plus I think some on here have made their own. |

I cracked my rocker panel. Since that point I'm using the center front lift point (and the center rear lift point as mentioned above). Yes...it will slightly buckle the aluminum plate, but there are steel bars under it. Lifted my car that way over 30 times. You must use a low profile 2+ tons jack with a wide round lift point. Use at you own risk and discretion.

I'm not lifting her off the ground just yet. She doesn't even have 500 miles on her. I'll take off the wheels once I can afford another set of wheels to replace and set her down on. I'm not going to set her on jack stands for six months in the below zero cold... It's not going to happen. Goodyear Rubber isn't going to run the show for my winter storage. |

I have no problem rolling the dice. Let's see what happens I'll be looking at 15-20 below for extended days this winter. |
