Other than flying often, what is the best way to keep from developing flat spots on the tires from sitting parked. What's the best way to get ride of them?

Depending on the plane you could try to support the axle on jack stands. Anytime you park for extended period of time you will get a flat spot on truck, trailer, or plane tires. They usually round back out with use. I would keep the tires at max pressure which should help some. On a side note oils and fuel are hard on tires. Tar is partially made up from oil products, so if you are going to park for extended periods on tar I would park on a plastic/wood plate to keep the asphalt products from degrading the tires.

Go flying....they'll smooth out as you taxi.

Looks like the best advice.

If they are really square I have had luck taxiing at a really low squishy pressure.
Fast Taxi enough to get them warmed up a little.
then air them back to normal.
Be careful to not use brakes much.

Try flying airplanes thatve been parked outside at -40....flat spots times ten.

Bottom line however, is don't worry about it...just go fly, they don't hurt anything.

I usually get them from skidding the tires[emoji1]

Land slow and don't use the brakes. Drifting a bit.
