What should tire pressure be at to prevent flat spots?

My mustang will be sitting for several months, and wondering what should I set the tire pressure at to prevent flat spots?

if the car is sitting for a long time, put it on jackstands.

As long as your tires have the proper air pressure I really wouldn't worry about a couple of months of sitting. My cars have sat for over a year at a time due to deployments and I havn't had a problem with flat spots. How prone the tire is to getting a flat spot may also depend on the brand. Placing it on jack stands will be your best bet though.
