Flat spots on tires

Blk86 · 03-12-2003, 11:47 AM

I have an 86 with 17" ZR-1 wheels and 255/45 B.F. Goodrich tires. We are planning to move to another state in a few months, but will need to drive the Corvette there earlier, and park it in the garage. It will likely set there for 6-8 weeks before being driven again. Should I be at all concerned about flat spotting on the tires, or is this time duration sufficiently short not to worry about it?
TIA

For years I have parked mine on 2' long 2x12 with the leading edge cut on a 45 so I can drive up on them.

Tires have never had a flat spot from the wood. Plus you can clean the tire all the way around if you let it overlap the 2x12 about an 1". :thumbs:

Don't worry. Tires will come back after few miles of driving.
