PROTECT YOUR TIRES. REDUCED RISK.
PREVENT TIRE FLAT SPOTS – PROTECT YOUR TIRES DURING LONG-TERM PARKING
Keep your tires in great shape even after weeks or months of parking – with Tire Saver tire protectors from V-Car-Tech.
What Is a Tire Flat Spot?
A tire flat spot can develop when a vehicle remains parked in the same position for an extended period and the tires are continuously under load. Over time, the tire’s contact patch can deform, resulting in a noticeable flat area.
When Do Flat Spots Occur?
Long Parking Periods
When a vehicle remains stationary for weeks or months, the risk of flat spots increases.
High Tire Load
High vehicle weight and low tire pressure increase the load on the tire’s contact patch.
Temperature & Storage
Heat, cold and unfavorable storage conditions can place additional stress on the tires.
Tire Saver Tire Protectors
The Tire Saver was developed for vehicles that remain parked for extended periods. Under the vehicle’s weight, the rubber pad slightly moves, allowing the tire to sink in and increasing the contact area. This helps reduce concentrated pressure on the tire during storage.
- Helps reduce the risk of flat spots
- Ideal for classic cars, sports cars and seasonal vehicles
- Robust and durable construction
- Easy to drive onto and ready to use immediately
Frequently Asked Questions About Flat Spots
How quickly can a flat spot develop?
This depends on factors such as tire pressure, vehicle weight, temperature, tire compound and how long the vehicle remains parked. The risk of deformation increases especially when a vehicle remains stationary for several weeks or months.
Can a flat spot disappear on its own?
Minor deformation may disappear again after driving for a few miles. More severe flat spots, however, can remain noticeable for longer or become permanent.
Are tire saver useful for classic cars?
Yes. The Tire saver are particularly useful for classic cars, sports cars and seasonal vehicles that remain parked for extended periods. They can help reduce concentrated pressure on the tire contact area.
Does higher tire pressure help prevent flat spots?
Maintaining the correct tire pressure is important and can help reduce the risk of flat spots. However, during very long parking periods, tire pressure alone may not always prevent deformation.
Can Tire Saver also be used with motorhomes?
Yes. Tire Saver is also suitable for motorhomes. Especially during longer parking periods, the flexible rubber mat can help distribute the tire load more evenly and reduce the risk of flat spots.
