Just got a set and seems to be good insurance for those of us who have to store our cars for the winter. Low profile tires and soft rubber sitting on concrete for an extended period are not a good combination. If I lived some where that didn't have winter would never consider them as the car would be driven regularly.

I have used them for the past 2 years. No issues. My car sits 4-5 months at a time due to work
Good insurance!

I have never used them for the past 6 years. No issues. My car sits 5 to 6 months at a time due to weather.
In the spring I only felt a little shake in the steering wheel at interstate speeds, which cleared up after about 25 miles of driving.
Last year I jacked up the car and rotated the wheels 180 degrees in January, and had no flat spotting at all when late March rolled around.
If you have no place else for the money to go, buy them. If you're like me buy something else for your car.

I've been debating about getting these as well and also was thinking about rotating the wheels like you did. I think I'll save my $253 and do that.
Thanks, Ed!

I bought the Flatstoppers and park on them when I don't plan to drive my C7 for a month or more, mostly winter. They are well built, light, easy to store, and do exactly what they're suppose to do.
