Hi, after my last blat at the end of last year, put the car in the garage. Couple of days later went to move it and at first thought that the brakes had stuck on, finaly got it to move and this is what I found.


Stuck on you :-)
All four wheels had stuck to the floor, "MEMO to self", let the tyres cool down, before putting in garage. Ray

ROFLMAO

I'd laugh at this one but I found the same when I moved the indy out of the garage for the first drive of the year the other night. oops!

TiRE SHOES®


for permanent tyre relief






TireShoes® have been specially designed to prevent tyres from going square. Emphasis is made to the long winter storage season when cars tend to stand for months at a time. Tyres develop "flat spots" and sidewalls deform, resulting in damaged tyres, a bumpy ride and uneven tread ware.

TireShoes® offer ideal support for both crossply and radial tyres, relieving and keeping them perfectly round by means of a concave solid rubber pad, shaped like the tyre itself. Installation is simple, no jack, no tools, no screws, simply place the four non-slip solid rubber pads in front of each wheel and drive on, that's it!

TireShoes® have been designed to fit tyres up to 11 ¼" (285mm) in width and up to 39" (1000mm) in diameter, making them suitable for virtually all vehicles. The concave shape of TireShoes® offers increased surface support up to 11" x 12" (275mm x 300mm), relieving the tyres whilst parked and during long term storage.



Jacking the car to relieve the tyres is no longer necessary!

Interesting study into "contact patch" there!

Those tyre shoes, £125 for 4! FFS.

I have rubber tiles down in mine, which I got free after I accidentally ordered a garage too much for a job , no sticking problems here!
