Winter Storage Question

I have a set of Gojacks and I was wondering if I left them under the tires all winter will this ruin them?

I can see the theory since they put pressure on only 2 points of the tires but I would think the tires are more resilient than that...

These are they style I have, fit up to 12" tire width

Re: Winter Storage Question

Can you just let them down so the tire contacts the floor once you get the truck to where you want it?

Re: Winter Storage Question

Radial tires do not flat spot like old bias tires did unless they are past their prime. I would not worry about leaving them on the jacks unless the radials are old, say 10ish years or so.

One side will be tight against the wall so no I can't.

This was my thought too, thank you.
