At least I won't be quite as upset when the relatively inexpensive modern tires go square from sitting.

When I was younger and had more ambition when I'd winterize a car I'd put it up on jackstands, it was much more important with Rayon cord tires than Nylon. But nowadays I just overinflate the tires perhaps 5 psi and can't say I've noted flatspotting in the spring. The race crowd has recently taken to little foam mattresses they drive the tires onto during storage to prevent flatspotting - one friend of mine who aggressively races on old Porsche tells me they are effective.
