Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Should a snowblower be kept off its tires in the offseason?Will it develop flat spots or go flat if the tires are not kept off the floor?

In theory keeping the weight off the tires and using them once or twice a month will help them last longer. In actuality I try to remember to get the weight off the tires but I normally forget. I have read that some of the forum members use a crate to store and protect their machines during the off season.
