Thanks for the advise. My main concern is flat spotting on the tires, I used nitrogen and ran them at 37 psi last year but before I stored it this winter I pumped them up to 48 psi using regular air. I also parked each tire on berber carpet squares on top of vinyl sheets to help prevent moisture loss and flat spotting. My fear is driving it this summer and having to deal with a vibration from the flat spotting. What is everyone else's past experience in regards to flat spotting?

I know some people on here don't worry to much about flat spotting. I bought flatspotters from raceramps and the cars been on those since September
Sent from somewhere on the road.

Well, after driving it for a couple of days there are no vibrations at all so I guess inflating the tires 48 psi and parking on thick berber carpet squares did the trick.

Does anyone know the best indoor car cover? I want a custom fit with Camaro on it. Do they have covers with a soft inner side? It will only be used in the winter for storage.

Will lifting the tires off the ground create any upsetting to the struts / shocks after 6 months? This would be from Thanksgiving through Spring...

now that im camed i think i will crank the engine over but not start it for the springs. I now have a very well insulated garage. With a concrete floor do you still have to put a tarp under it? i will put carpet under the tires and pump them up to 45.

For summer tires as long as you don't drive the car you shouldn't have to worry about tires cracking.
