Nope. I just park mine on some old carpet squares to keep the tires off the cement.

I have a restored classic car that I don't drive, sooo I've seen the flat spots on the tires and YES they're flat.
If you dont move your car for a month or 2 you'd be fine. But if parked year round then yeah invest in those tire savers.

I drive my car enough that I don't need them. If you're going to put the car in storage, then you might want something for the tires.

I have used Race Ramp Flatstoppers for 2 winters (Nov-March). Previous to using them, after storage I could feel flat stops while driving highway speeds. After a while they mostly lessened but not completely. After replacing the tires I wanted to give them the best care I could with the hope of avoiding any flat spotting. So far so good. Are they really necessary, no, but the most minor vibration bothers me so they are worth it for me.

I do not use tire saver ramps when I store my C5s for the winter. I do however increase the tire pressures to prevent flat spots. Carpet squares is not a bad idea either.
