[QUOTE="Rruuff Day, post: 118055, member: 2217"] Thanks James... Good post and good to know how Michelin stands on this. :thumbs: Not that I have any plans to remover my wheels every fall though. I feel driving the car up on the 2" thick Styrofoam insulation pads in my heated shop is sufficient for relieving stress and/or not creating flat spot memory on the bottom portion of the tires. Like your 20 years of experience, I also have never had problems with neither my C6 and my C7 over the years. I do somewhat agree with Michelin on relieving the weight and definitely not moving the car if the tires are going to be subject to extreme cold though. I guess it's each to their own as I'm pretty sure Michelin PR will preach the ideal storage so's not to take a chance with liability on their part. And PS. My shop isn't a pig pen but I wouldn't necessarily call it "clean" either..... Wonder if that matters? ;) [/QUOTE]
