Default Flat Spot Question

I have my S stored for a little over a month now. I did not put it up on jacks as the manual suggested because it is too much trouble, as well as dangerous. So, I inflated all four tires (S02 Originals) close to 45psi. Once a month, I plan to jack up the S and spin the tires, and rest it on the ground using a different area. Will this avoid flat spotting?

They will flat spot but not permanently. After the tire heats up they will roll round. Just drive the car a little during the winter when the days are nice if you are worried about it. Otherwise it won't matter.

Mine sat for about a month. I took a short drive and they were flatspotted. Needless to say, I was a bit pissed. But, I drove the car about a week later and the flatspots were gone. They will just vibrate a bit the first time you drive it but after that they will be fine.
