  • Great for winter storage of your car, prevents flat-spotting of tires.

I can't read the first post. Too many fukking pop up ads blocking it. If it does not register in the hub, then weight is supported by the studs, not the hub. The studs do not support the weight of the car in normal operation. The hub does.

They must need to be able to slide as the suspension settles after jacking?

Assuming you have a nice smooth concrete surface to work on?

Not practical for changing rotors and suspension elements.

True. For those projects, you would like your suspension unloaded.
But there are many projects in the wheel well where you would like better access to the suspension adjustment points with the suspension LOADED, like an alignment. Or maybe just because you want more creeper room under the car without kicking jack stands all the time. Or maybe because you want to store your Porsche for the winter without flat-spotting your tires.
