Long-term winter storage can cause flat spots on motorhome tyres
Original source: Autobahn

Prolonged storage of a motorhome over winter can lead to flat spots on tyres where they contact the ground. Tyre manufacturers Continental and Michelin recommend checking tyre pressure before storage and temporarily increasing it if needed, without exceeding the maximum indicated on the tyre. Periodic movement or use of the vehicle helps reduce the risk. If vibration occurs after storage, tyres should be inspected.
