    Tyre Pressure During Storage

    Should I increase tyre pressures to say max cold psi given vehicle will just be parked in garage for at least a couple months?

    When I stored mine ages ago I put a few extra PSI in them.

    Ideally, lift the whole thing up and block, so that the weight isn’t on the tyres. But a couple months isn’t likely to harm them.

    Then when you next drive it take it easy, any slight deformation out of round should sort itself out.

      It is important to rotate the wheels to maintain a "spread" of grease in the wheel bearings as over time the grease between bearing surfaces will be displaced. This could result in pitting.
      I have adopted a plan of taking the Paj out for a short run to exercise all moving parts.

      Remember the science demonstration of a table covered with mouse traps loaded with ping pong balls and the teacher drops a ping pong ball into the middle.
      Well, the ball has been dropped.
