Winter Storage

[JFern]

My winter storage prep was always 1) change the oil, 2) full tank of gas with stabilizer, 3) connect battery tender. The tire flat spots always went away within 5 miles of my first spring drive. Never a problem in the 5 years I stored the car over winter.

It's true that the cold temperatures affects summer tires, and everything I've read for the PS4S suggests giving the tires 24 hours to "warm up" if they've been subjected to temps less than 20* F.

I'm with JFern except I pull the battery and keep it in my basement for the winter. I throw the battery on the charger in the spring before I put it back in

I already over inflate the tires, but this year I'm also trying these flat spot savers

Cars been parked in the garage over 9 winters now.

I always park it, throw on the battery tender, and walk away.

Every 3-4 weeks I roll the car back a foot or so.

Its an insulated but not heated garage. I know it got down into the 20's a few times during a few very cold winters.

Did this with Continental ExtremeContact summer tires, and a few sets of Michelin PSS.

Never had any issues with tires.

And I second the comment that the Micheline 4S are amazing tires. I thought PSS was good, but JHC, the 4S are so fun and grip so good. It's the perfect tire, no complaints at all.
