Winter storage

I parked my Camaro on a 4 post lift for the winter and took all of the necessary precautions but i am still concerned about my tires since i did not put any ply wood under them. i did pump them to about 50 psi to hopefully avoid any flat spots, am hoping that will help avoid it but i want to see if anyone thinks i should go through the pain of taking it back off to put plywood underneath.

any advice is appreciated

I'd air them down to 42-44 psi, 50 is dangerously close to the absolute max and not necessary to avoid flat spots. It would certainly better to have a moisture barrier under the tires, but if your garage isn't very humid (and if it is, get a dehumidifier), you should be fine.

42 is plenty air, I’d go up every two weeks and roll the tires. I do this for all the vehicles I care for here and don’t have any issues with flat spots

Why not just put take the wheels off and put the car on jacks if you're that worried.
