Tyre flat spots

[Antipasti]

Hi,

I would imagine a few posters here have cars that are taken off the road for the winter.

I have just taken mine off the road until next year, but not before I fitted brand new tyres all round. (Refurbed alloys and new tyres)

The question I wanted to ask is, have any of you experienced flat spots on your tyres whilst storing the car over winter? Do they self right themselves with a bit of heat when used again?

I would hate to ruin the new tyres that I have just put on!

Any tips on how to avoid them? I am unable to use axel stands as I only have a single garage and cannot get to the sides of the car once it's in there.

I move mine every other week a touch forward and back then move the chocks to different parts of the tyre and leave the handbrake off.

Both my cars been sat over 12 months

No don't worry about it

My MX5 has been SORN every winter in a garage.
The tyres have been on since 2012.
No flat spots.

They’ll be absolutely fine.
