Tire Flat Spotting Questions
 
Hey peeps. I have an inquiry for those who don't use their Z as a daily: What tires do you run and have you had any issues with flat spotting due to storage? I have the Conti Extreme Contacts, which I learned were flat-spotted from WR. They mentioned another customer with a Corvette and the same tires had the same problem.

Considering my rears are just sketch enough in rainy conditions, I would like to know what you guys are running and if you have run into any issues before I pull the trigger on some tires. I'm likely going to go for the PS4S this time considering I'm still not ready to go back to tracking yet (those Cup 2s are only $200 more tho >.> maybe I'll have to track it again)

I stored my 2019 370Z Sport Touring with it's factory tires for up to 1 1/2 years and have had no issues. I over inflated the tires by about 5 psi and put the car in a car bag (with desiccants) over a rug on a cement floor. I took it out of the bag, put the battery in and drove it without any issues.

My Mich's have never flat spotted. I park my Z from just before Thanksgiving to the end of March. That's the PPS, PS4S, and Cup tires.

I have some RE-11s that are pretty old already and sat for a few months last year. They flat spotted a little but they worked out of it just fine. No issues now.

I haven't had any issues on the Z on various tires (Michelin, Bridgestone, Nitto) unless it sits for at least 3-4 months without moving.

Yeah, I went ahead with the Michelins. Discount had a deal on them, so yay.

Get a quickjack system and leave the car up when you're not using it
