Do you have to put rugs under your tires when you store it in a garage? Or is it just better for the tires?

My garage is carpeted and heated.

And these will stop that pesky vibration till the tires warm up...

Make sure you only use the finest Berber carpeting for under your tires. Any less and they may suffer from spontaneous combustion.

SL55 amg
you'll be fine without carpets, people use carpet so the tires dont leave a mark on thier checkered floors, other wise yea u might get a flat spot on ur tire but soon as u drive it and it gets to temp it'll be fine, so unless u have a nice shiny floor that your worried about, i wouldnt bother especially considering u have heated garage. hope this help

I would go with what Belt had in that link. I have seen those with someone who stores a classic and they swear by them.

It isn't necessary. If the car sits for quite some time, the tires will be slightly flat on one side, but within a few miles of driving they will be back to normal.

Persian carpet is the best but it has to be made out of pure silk. Usually 1 goes for 20K$ to 50K$.

Why would you need carpet man!?!?!
