How long does it take to get a flat spot on your tires, cuz I put my s2000 away 2 months ago and just kepp rolling it back and forth is that enough.

Why not put it up on jack stands and remove the tires altogether?

I've had mine stored in my garage for about 2 months now as well. I simply start it up, let it run for a while and move it backwards and forwards a couple of times every 2 weeks. From what I've heard, flat spotting isn't a problem with tires these days, but that's just what I've heard. Can't wait for the weather to get nice again!!!

Had my car parked for about a month. Took it for a spin (bad choice of word) the other day
and couldn't feel any bumping like flat spots would cause.

As a general rule I've heard if you roll it just a couple inches every two weeks you can avoid the flat spot problem. I ment to jack mine up and pull the wheels for cleaning, etc. but it's been so nice weather wise, I have not done it yet. So in place of that I mark the tire and floor with a small piece of duct tape (i.e. for a starting point) and then roll it every two weeks. You can reposition the tape each time or just use it as a guide. Seems to work.
