tire flattening

I am wintering my car for about 5 months. Have seen posts about wheels losing their round if they sit long enough. Is this true? How do I prevent this? Thanks, Tom

Take the wheels off it, or better still just drive the wheels off it.

The Owner's Manual recommends the following:

f
Increase the tire pressure to 58 psi (4 bar).
It is not recommended to lift the vehicle, due to
the possibility of corrosion on shock absorber
piston shafts.
The vehicle should be moved slightly, approximately
every four weeks, to prevent flat spot

on the tires.
