I put my ride up on jackstands. Starting at $189 buys a lot of jack stands and I don't have mice issues doing that. more of a hassle but it works
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Yup, $189 is really pricey, when as you stated, jackstands are waaay cheaper, though more of a hassle to do, when storing a vehicle. Just wondered if anyone used these for their car, as opposed to stands.

I always put my cars up on jack stands but did buy a set this year to try as one of my cars is very close to the garage wall so jacking it up safely was an issue. I will find out if they worked on in a few months. I run bias ply tires on my cars so flat spots are an issue.

I don't put mine up. I have a heater, and I drive it every season. Living in Southside Virginia, so we get "some" good weather during the winter months.

I've tried ALL the above mentioned methods and I've come to a solution.
Let them get flat spots. They will go back to round within 10 kilometers of driving in the spring.

I agree. No need to go overboard. Cars are meant to have the suspension loaded continuously, and tires are meant to set on flat surfaces.

I used to do several things but, in more recent years, I just drive it down the road and it's good. Worst case scenario, you have to drive it 10 or so miles; I've had to do that once. Most times a few streets over and the spots are worked out.
