hey-

my cars been sitting in storage for quite a bit now, going on a while year. Ive rolled it in and out of the garage a few times but its mostly been dormant, remaining in the same spot for a long time.

how long do i have before i should be concerned about flat spots developing in my tires? I put the stockies on in the front for easy wrenching, but im worried about the rears.

what are your opinions?

 

the only problem with not driving for that long is they will dry rot check the sidewalls for cracking

 

Not for a long, long time.

6 months ago I pulled my Datsun out of storage where it had been sitting for 4+ years. The tires had leaked down to about 12psi or so and the rims were not sitting on ground pinching the tire. I inflated them and they were fine, no flat spots.

sweet... should i just rub em down with some tire stuff? vasoline or somethin lol?

 

If you are parking on concrete you may want to lay down carpet or cardboard under the tires. The lime? or something in the concrete can damage the rubber over a long time.

Good Luck
