Are you going to have it sit for awhile? Heck, if you have the time just go out there once a week, start it and drive a block then park it again.

It's an interesting concept but regardless it still looks like it will have that PSI change no matter. The weight is still distributed on the bottom portion of the tire. You'll just have a wider area with a little less change. IMHO

I really didn't read it all... they have some very extensive test data. However, it SEEMS that the tempurature of the surface (rubber vs. cold cement) has a lot to do with their solution.

I'd say that you have a greater worry of 'flat spotting' your tires from hitting the brakes too hard rather than keeping your car parked too long.

Seriously, unless you intend on storing your car throughout the winter, then this shouldn't even be an issue for you.

Save the $334 that this gimic costs and put that money into extra fuel .
