Winter Storage Tire Care: What do you guys do?

[Jeepngli]

Brian,

I've stored my car for 4 winters at this point. All I do is the following

1) Inflate tires to 45psi
2) Put dryer sheets in cabin to keep it smelling "nice"
3) Battery Tender

Thats it. Every spring, it fires up no problem. Don't over think it

Also, I never start it over the time its stored (usually 4-5 months). I don't think its necessary to start the car once per week, and let it idle for 15min to warm up, just to shut it off again.

Thats what I've done for the last two years. Can't run a battery tender since there's no outlets. I'll just take it out. I've read about these Flat Stoppers but the price is ridiculous. Just curious if anyone has had negative effects without them. Sounds like I'm good the way it is. Thanks guys.

You'll be fine. Usually by the time I drive it from the garage back home, the tires are fine

Fuel stabilizer
Tires up to 45 psi
If heated storage, just disconnect neg. terminal
If cold storage, pull out battery and bring in house
If extended storage of a year plus, put on blocks, if not, don't sweat it
Wait patiently for spring!
