I put rubber mats under my tires ( about 3/4 in thick ) when I stored my bike for the winter.
There is not enough room to occasionally move the bike to change tire position. Will it cause a flat spot if I dont revolve the tires?
Thanks.

Most will jump on here and say no flat spots. Me I say yep to some degree it will flat spot. I had a metric bike few years back that due to an injury to me sat almost two years without moving. The virtually new tires were shot after the two years of sitting. Wasn't really flat spots more like pushed sideways. As far as it was a long time to sit I say it started the first minute it was put on the stand.
Put an extra 5+ air in them and they will be fine. Whatever minor flat set they will get will come out after a few miles and it's all good again. It's not a permanent condition.

Will tires get flat spots in storage?
