HAS ANYONE USED FLAT STOPPERS???

hi folks has anyone used flat stoppers???

or

what do you use to prevent flat spots on your tyres when storing your mk1???

 :?  :?  :?

Drive it every couple of weeks

will this stop the tyres gettin ducked!!!

sounds like a good excuse for a drive  :mrgreen:

Axle stands?

to much like hard work that 8)  8)

no way!

Surely if you are that bothered about your car then 10 minutes spent jacking it up and shoving a couple of pairs of axle stands under isnt too much hastle!! If it is, drive it!!Taking it out of the garage and driving round the block will be enough to ensure the tyres are rotated to another spot.

i am,

spent ?1000 on new wheels and tyres,

but flatstoppers or tyre shoes are a lot easier you just drive the car onto them :mrgreen:
just seeing if anyone else uses them :?

I'll be honest and say i've never even heard of them?

Although the other day i did do an almighty skid in my car and the tyre went funny….

Ummmm I know what you're getting at but its…….April…… if you're going to keep a car as an ornament, fair game, but even if it were only used part of the year, wouldn't that part, be summertime?

I've 4 cars, and I've never needed to do anything like spending money on flatstoppers etc. I guess you could make your own tho? I mean, it would be much cheaper etc

pauly what is it with you and tyres/wheels didn't all your wheels fall off you old saxo?
