FYI: Alex emailed me saying he's been trying to get a hold of you.
Shoot him an email if possible.
I'm going to be out of commission starting tomorrow (surgery) and will be back online posting within a few days (I think). Won't be able to talk on the phone for awhile though. I forgot to call you today. We'll chat via email about AWE exhausts.
Take care and have a good weekend!

No.
yes it'll happen, but you'll need the weight of the car on the wheels to do it, and it'll need to be there for several months. My car has sat for over a month at a time. When it sits for extended periods like that, you will notice some flat spotting, but generally a little driving will restore the tire to a round condition (once the tire is warmed up, it seems to go back to normal within a certain timeframe). Again, the weight of the car is on the wheels. In your case, you're growing gray hairs over nothing.

Re: No.
Tires stored upright w/o wheels on them develop flat spots. You are confusing what I was asking. The correct way to store just tires is on their sides. I wanted to know if this applied to tires w/ wheels on them. People tend to give answers w/o really knowing whats correct; only what they do. If they do it, it must be right. Thanks, anyway.

Re: Stack em and make sure you keep them out of the SUN
That's what I figured. Is that so the tread doesn't get flat? I'm getting people saying do it anyway you feel (stack or upright) but like a lot of people on here I think they just give any answer they think.
