Default Flat spots

i put my car in the garage for winter...and because it crashed it lol,

but anyways, i noticed i had a slow leak in my tire B4 i put it in and forgot about it

will i have a flat spot or warp in my tire? its prolly been flat for 2 months.

should i rais the tire, and fill it with sealent and pump it up and leave it raised for a wile? thats my only idea will it work?

thanks
jeff

Glad I read this. Mine's been parked in the cold garage for a few weeks. Time to top-off the air pressure!

I have several cars that sit for months at a time. (Collectables) I park mine on squares of carpet that I pick up at carpet shops. Been doing it for years and no flat spots!

Yes

I'd be more worried about the rims cutting into the sidewalls.
