Winter Storage
I only really use my truck in the summer for towing so from Oct to May it sits.
I fill it, add fuel stabilizer, change the oil, put it on jack stands and put a cover on it. Every year it just sits until I fire her up in the Spring.
This has worked every year but just wondering if there are any additional steps that might be helpful. I wanted to fog the cylinders but just seemed like a PITA to do that.

I fog my boat every winter, and put an aotomatic trickle charge on the battery.
Treat the fuel with about 3/4 of. Tank. Other than that I have no issues....
it has a tarp over it. That’s about all ou can do.....

Bridgestone duelers are awesome, have used them for many many years on other vehicles.
As far as the flat spots...that's what Town Fair tire said...(I call them clown fair)
had back multiple times for re-balancing)
