Default Lumpy Tires

I have the stock tires ( Pirelli) and I haven't run the car in about a week. This morning , I took the car out and it took over a mile to get them round again. The tire pressure is OK. Is this normal?

Your tires never got flat spots from sitting too long?

Personally no ... not after a week anyway... long wouldn't classify as a week ... now if you leave it sit for like 6 months then I have it on jack stands to avoid that ~ J

Is there a safe place to put jack stands under these cars?

Not for a week. I've had cars sit for months and have had no problems. Maybe somthing along the lines of a year then maybe.

If your stang is sitting for a week, you should not have flat bottoms on your tires...as for jack stand points, can't remember if it was in the manual or someone posted it before...but I saw a diagram with this depcited. Recommend you use the search tool above to see if you can find it....
