  • Tire flatspotting?

    I'm putting my car in for the winter this weekend. Is flapspotting the tires a big problem. I think thats the right term. I know there are mats you can buy to help with the problem, but is it really that big of a matter.

    2005 GTO, Quicksilver, 6-Speed, DynaTech LT's and thats it. 366.6 hp/366.7 tq last time I checked.

    Being radials, they shouldn't flatspot but I would park it on some squares cut out of plywood to insulate the tires from the ground and give them some cushion, especially if you park on concrete.....you'll see how the boards warp over the winter.

    My $0.02 though

      Ah but they will flat spot. Temporarily. Usually they will be OK once they get warmed up again.

          Considering you can pick up 2 sets of jackstands for $30......it woudn't hurt.

              if you plan to put in bed on jackstands, be sure to put a piece of wood between the jack and her...trust me she'll like it better.
