I have raised my tire pressure to 60 psi while the car is stored on the rack. We have a local specialty car restorer and seller here named Tom Snellback who runs the Last Detail. He stores about 100 or more exotic cars including a bunch of Michael Jordan's. He says his routine for storage is fill the gas tank, disconnect the battery (and keep it on a float charger) and 60 psi in the tires. I have do the same although I leave the battery in the car. The tires look surprisingly round as they sit on a very small contact patch. --Bob
