Z storage and maintenance during Winter

so when you guys put your Z in storage... do you ever check the tire pressure and re-pump if it drops?

i just don't want to come back in spring to the tire with 0 pressure and it's been resting on it for so long... lol i'm OCD like that i guess...

atleast i'll know if there is a slow leak or not! but then again new tires in te spring soooooo F-IT! lol

If your tires were not leaking when you were driving it, they probably won't leak in storage. Still a good idea to take a look at them periodically.

Nah. I pump the tires up to around 40 psi when I cover the car for the winter and hook up the battery tender. I always glance at those tires every time I head back to the storage garage to fire up the tractor/snowblower. If they looked low, I'd check the pressure and if it was low, I'd likely pull the tire and try to find the source of the leak. I've never had to do that - never seen them go down.
