Hello, After attending a Tire Seminar for RVs, the consensus was to not have the tire in constant contact with concrete. Anything between the tire and floor will lengthen tire life.

Ok, so after doing a lot of research and hearing what other members have said, I settled on a solution. I purchased interlocking foam pads from Harbor Freight.  Covers the whole floor, except under the engine (have a small oil leak). Keeps the tires from having contact with the cement and feels better walking on it. Cost less than $60 and I can still easily take the car out on a nice day :-)

Thank you for the tip on tires. I’ll give this a try.

The HF pads sound like a great solution. That’s a win win, good for the tires, soft to walk on and great for my back when I lay down under to work. And maybe take a nap 😴

Jack stands.  I’ve seen tire cradles, would have to match tire radius to work well, to help prevent flat spots. Worried about dry cured concrete??? Epoxy your floor. Makes clean up a heck of a lot easier
