Edward, how 'bout an opinion here on tires? I've had my 328 out of commission for an extended time(embarrassed to say how long), hope to get it going over the next few weeks/holidays, and one thing i wondered about was flat spots from sitting so long...tires have been inflated ok, so didn't go flat. Anything to worry about after some mileage to get the kinks out ?
thx

Leaving them on lifts is more to unload the supension and to keep them away from harm. They raise them up when they don't have half an eye on them.

I have never seen a tire that did not round itself back out after a few miles of driving. A waste of money if you ask me.

I have noticed at repair shops, Ferrari and private, they leave older cars (pre 72 and expensive ones..daytona, F-40, F-50 and the like) on the lifts about 1 foot off the ground.

Does anyone use tire cradles when she is parked for extended periods? I noticed that dealers don't and the inventories have been sitting recently for as long as our cars will sit through the winter.
