    Default over inflate tires for winter storage...

    Hi All

    I am very lucky to be able to position my new Freewheeler between my cars in the garage but

    unlike my previous two wheelers I am unable to roll the trike a few inches back & forth to avoid "flat spots"

    on the tires. Does anyone over inflate their tires to prevent this and how much psi would you recommend?

    Thanks for your input

    Praying for an early Spring

    With my two wheelers they would sit all winter in my garage all winter with the normal PSI's and never had a problem......Flat spots were a problem with nylon [Car] tires of years past......With my Trikes.....I ride all winter ...

    The local Harley dealer has probably 200 bikes in winter storage.

    I seriously doubt they move the bikes around during the winter.

    I wouldn’t worry about flat spotting the tires.

    Don't park them on concrete. Either park them on rubber mats, carpet pieces or 1/4" plywood.

    The cold damp concrete causes problems.

    Have never experienced flat spotted tires since they stopped being made with nylon. Even those smoothed out quickly after being driven a short distance and they were car tires.

    Put stabil in, fill the tank, ride about ten miles, park the bike and plug in the battery tender. Done.
