I put mine on 3/4" rubber "horse stall" mats from Tractor Supply. Pump up the pressure a few pounds as well. RF sidewall is very stiff no worries of flat spots IMO put something under the car. I used to use carpeting.

I did the same thing. Cut one into four squares for each tire and lay them on top of a tarp to manage any moisture.

In the old days, car tires developed flat spots from sitting. You had to drive a few miles to heat up the tires and get them back in round. I don't know about today's tires.
I picked up a 12X20 piece of plush carpet which fits under the entire car and looks finished. Also add air to compensate for the drop in temperature on the first few cold days.

First of all, these cars were meant to be driven - Don't store them, drive them like you stole it. That being said, I unfortunately have to work to support millions of people on welfare so sometimes my cars do sit for a few weeks till I come home. Yes, the tires do seem to develop a flat spot. But it goes away after a few miles of driving. If you look at cars in Museums, you will notice they don't do anything special.

park on feather pillows so your car is nice and comfy. then put sheets and a flannel blanky over top to protect the paint and keep it from cracking due to shivering
