Does anyone do anything special to their tires in the winter when you store? Over inflate or under inflate?
Let me know,

I live in Indiana and inflate to about 34 psi. I also drive it about once every other week, weather permitting (no snow, ice or salt). Just to keep the battery charged up. I had mine for 4 years and no abnormal issues.

Once each week during the winter, I start mine and idle it for a while while I exercise EVERY switch and button in the car. That takes a while, water temp is usually up to 190'F by the time I finish. Then I just drive it up and down my driveway (about 75' each way) a few times, turn around, and park it in the garage again.
