Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

As my car awaits it's 3.8L rebuild, it is just sitting in one place. It's been about 2 months now and will likely be another 4-8 weeks before it's up and running. Do I need to worry about the tires getting flat spots, or is that more applicable to old-style belted tires and a much longer time frame measured in years, not months? Should I roll it around a bit or jack it up and rotate the wheel 180 degrees?
I'm running Yokohama Neova A008 R tires.
Thanks
Unless you are running bias ply tires, any flat spots should work themselves out as soon as the tire comes up to operating temp.
I store multiple cars for months with no prep. Never any issue.
New Porsche's are delivered from the factory with tires overpressured to 55psi to keep from flat spotting on the long travel from Germany. During PDI the tires pressure are adjusted to normal settings before handing over to customer, but some dealers prefer to do PDI as soon as the cars are unloaded at the dealer whether sold or not, Then they sit for months at a time and will flat spot after a month or so. Driving the car above 75 for a period of time will smooth out the flat spots.

It also seems, from my experience, to depend a lot on the specific tire brand/model. I’ve never had flat spot issues with my 996, even stored for the entire winter, but my little Miata track car, sitting on Firestone Indy500s will flat spot in a couple of weeks. It’s a much lighter car, but also much lower tire pressures.
