The basis for this is to prevent flat spots on the tires but an easier way is to fill the tires with Nitrogen instead of air.

Im a tad concerned about the tires...I have seen some discussion on it but not sure what to do. Itll be in storage from now till prolly April...I dont have another set of tires or anything really for that matter. Think they will be ok and fairly unharmed? @ 40psi

Thanks again guys, its much appreciated

**edit**

nm question on tires....itll be ok @ 40psi

Ok, back up...This isn't even possible...The way these tires are designed you could never get them to fully deflate and create a vaccuum in a practical sense, therefore you could never have just nitrogen in your tires. Furthermore, "Air" is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and maybe 1% argon. So mainly what you are talking about replacing is the oxygen, because, some will say that nitrogen won't leak as much, yada yada yada. By that logic, every time I fill up my tires with 78% nitrogen, I am increasing the % of nitrogen inside my tires because mostly oxygen is escaping. That may be true, but then, this whole "filling up with nitrogen" is a scam. Its not even possible to get just nitrogen, and not worth it. Fill the tires to 40 psi with air, you'll be fine.

Battery Tender

No cover in the northeast. Dust won't hurt the car but mice will.

I've been told by many people that putting bounce dryer sheets in & around the car will keep the mice away - the strong smell puts them off. I've stored my car with these in place for the past couple of years & it does seem to work - the one time I didn't it cost me a battery blanket ($60).
