50?! I mean I think OEM tires rate it max at 50 but I dont think I would go past 40(ish).
However, I'm sure others may have done it that high, I just feel like that's a bit close to comfort for me, even with the climate being colder here in Chicago.
Yep 50 psi. Been doing this for almost 20 years on all my Porsches and BMWs. When you get ready to drive them in the spring, the PSI is usually dropped to around 46 to 47 psi. I have never had a flat spot or any problem.

Ah makes sense. I usually drive mine at around 34-36 PSI so that's all relative.
I do all the above things mentioned including removing Collison insurance on the car as it will not be driven, and I also suspended my Satellite radio subscription for several months. You can easily do this with 2 quick phone calls. I increase the tire pressure to 50 psi on all my cars that I store.
That’s sounds like a good idea. I mentioned jacking/lifting above as this is something I try to address. This won’t release spring/shock tension, but this would deal with the tire issue, which is the bigger issue on shorter-term storage vs longer (year+). It’s likely be about as effective wrt tires and easier.
