I stored my NSX during the winter and the only service I performed was changing the oil and filter and a full tank of gas. I rolled it ahead and back once a week (without starting it). The RE010 Bridgestone tires did not flatspot. Discussion on the NSX list suggested to not start the car because most wear occurs at this time. Also leave the hand brake off. And cover it if possible.

Putting the tires in trash bags ?!? Please ! Why not take the tires off every time you get to work and every time you get home and put them in trash bags. Afterall the ozone works on tires in summer as much as in winter. THAT IS TOO MUCH!
Here in Wyoming, I plan to keep it under a dust cover and to drive it a bit every month even in snowy February or March or April. After all, this car is too much fun to not enjoy some all year. Luckily I'm getting it to drive for fun and never HAVE to drive it.
