Default tire flat spots

I plan on driving my GT3 on weekends/every other weekend only and live in New Jersey. My garage is just plain cold concrete. Is there concern of developing permanent flat spots considering these tires are soft?

Look in Pano. You can get tire craddles.

I don't think you have anything to worry about if you move the car every other week. Alot of people say minimum should be once a month.

If you store for longer periods, inflate to 50 psi. That is Porsche's recommendation for Winter storage in order to avoid flat spots. I've followed this advice for two Winters with my CGT and no flatspots.
