Just another thought.. Those cupped ramps run like $230+ for a set. I'm thinking anyone with a jigsaw and a pattern could cut out and stack enough layers of plywood (glued and screwed) together to make some for a tiny fraction of that $200+ cost (which is ridiculous)!

I've read where putting the car up on jack stands to lift the tires from the goround...is an option. Never tired it because - I usually drive them a few miles if the roads are clear, or at least re-position them before parking again.

I've been running the Nittos on both Zs - never had an issue, but too I limit them to 4 driving seasons, regardless of remaining tread, 5 MAX. (I'll try the air pressure method this winter too - never thought of that!)
