Advice on storing GT3 for Winter
 

Okay- Need some advise

Car is covered and on a trickle charger for say 3 months. In the past; every 4 to 6 weeks I would warm the car up and take around the block before putting her to sleep for another 4 to 6 weeks.

Is this worth it/more harmful to start her up and rotate tires??

How long can she sit in one spot before tires develop dead spots? I did not over inflate before putting her to sleep but had Dealer pump about 3 psi extra in each tire.

Appreciate advice

I don't start my cars in winter any more and haven't had a problem come spring -- they've always fired right up. Just inflate the tires to 50psi, car cover, battery tender, done.

^ This and you are good.

what others said
plus
sta-bil

Call insurance company too. And save a few hundo. Secure keys.

Add StaBil Marine (blue) 1 ounce per 10 gallons fuel. Run in. Then don't start till Spring.

Overfill tires to 55-58.

Thanks- But how long do you think car can sit w/o over-inflating tires before SOL??

Changing to storage insurance has always saved me a ton of $$$. No reason to leave full coverage on during winter months if not driving.

Spot on advice.

I never understood these responses. Do you hibernate your cars? Hard to tell from your location, so I ask. Have you ever asked your insurance professionals?

If you'v never hibernated a car, and have never reviewed this with your insurance company, could that be why you don't understand?

My insurance (usaa) still covers car but not all the "driving" stuff when in storage. Saves some money

I have left tires at regular pressure for 4 to 5 months and never had a problem. Ymmv

^ Second that, reduce car insurance to third party fire theft coverage only. As others have stated do not start the car while in storage, leave until Spring

Ship it to AZ. It's perfect driving weather here!

I'm like Jimmy- haven't overinflated the tires yet. Car has been sitting for a month already.

Insurance: Drop it down to comprehensive only- this covers you for everything but driving. My insurance is only $100 annually for this, vs $1200- so I save a few bucks a month.
