I've read several threads where owners have inflated the tires to near the rated max PSI for long term storage without issues and no flat spots the next spring. Certainly keep an eye on PSI during storage as your tires could lose air pressure with extreme cold temps and that could contribute to flat spots.

I thought I read in one of the service bulletins warning not to even adjust the tire pressure during extreme cold.

I'm wondering if it will be safe to push the car forward several inches come the end of the week? |

Does anyone actually know a person who had a modern tire get flat spots? My lemons/chump race car sits on it's wheels and tires for 361 days a year and never had a problem. I get why this was an issue in the old days with steel belted tires, but new technology uses cords and wires that are far less prone to flat spotting.

They would go away after a mile or two, but if the car sat all week and it was cold out, I'd have a shimmy when first driven. Never did it when warm out, only in the winter/cold and if the car sat several days. Twelve years ago, but not that ancient. |

And I too have never experienced long term flat spotting after winter. Maybe a jiggle or 2 for a few miles then they warm up and everyone plays happy.
