Nope. All I do is add a few PSI to the tires and put some carpet squares under the tires to keep them off the cold concrete.

Do not put on jack stands.I put old plush carpet squares under the tires.A heavy plastic sheet under car for a barrier from cold concrete floor. Ctek tender and Bounce dryer sheets in passenger compartment and trunk. I also throw some mothballs in a tupperwear bowl and set under the hood. Cover and wait for spring. In an emergency i can get the car out of the garage in less than 2 minutes.

No jack stands, it sits on the floor....The only alternative I personally would use is the rolling tire cradles but, that's if it's not going to be driven for a very long time.

Here in NJ, I just park it in the garage, pull the cover over it, and that's it. Whenever the weather is clear enough I take it out for a few hours. It doesn't sit too long. It makes me too happy to drive to let it sit all winter.

I put my car on jack stands and store my wheels/tires in my basement as I am running R compound tires. Tire manufacturers recommend to not store them in below freezing temps. Beyond that, hook up my trickle charger and that’s it. I’m out in my garage almost every weekend tinkering so I don’t cover mine. It takes 15 minutes to remount the wheels and go in the Spring.
