Tire Pressure For Winter Storage

Benzima · 11-01-2016, 08:49 AM

Hi,

The M2 is my 1st car I will store for winter in the True North.

What is the tire pressure recommended for the next 6 months in the OEM MPSS tires?

Thanks for your help.

While in storage, I would inflate the tires to about 45psi. This added pressure will help minimize flat spotting. Just be sure to bring the pressure back down before you drive the car in the spring; maybe put a post it note on the steering wheel.
While in storage, try to move the car a couple feet every month or so. This will also help to minimize flat spotting.

I use flatstoppers. Google it. Great piece of kit. Works like a charm.
