Get a Batter Tender Jr. It'll keep your battery charged all through winter.

Maybe it's dumb question, but I really don't know - what the difference if the car is sitting on the jackstands or not?

Evolution[OH] they put the cars on jacks so that the tires don't get bald spots from just sitting on one spot too long, since they anticipate they won't move their cars.

As for me, I slapped on my winter wheels (steelies with Blizzak WS-50's) and I'm having fun since there's no snow ! yay for no snow !

Are bald spots the same as flat spots?
