I have used Tire Cradles for a long time and they work great but a set of four is $300+ They are expensive but it is cheaper than buying new tires. http://www.tirecradle.com/

Over-fill your tires, per your Owner's Manual, to about 55-58 PSI. I've done this for years during winter hibernation lasting up to 6 months. No flatspotting.
Don't use jack stands. Our cars are not to be stored with the suspensions un-sprung.
I move (roll by hand) the cars, the first Saturday of each month, about 8-12 inches. Then weekly the last month of winter hibernation. I've also parked on dense rubber matts (tiles purchased from Home Depot) like you'd find in a gym's weight room floor tile. I don't think this really mattered in the end.
