if you are worried about the tyres, just get 4 pieces of wood, and put them under the wheels. Also if you park the car for 1 week, disconnect the battery terminals.
Haha cheers for the feedback. Not too worried about the fuel - I sold some 4 month old ultimate to some bloke who, knowing full well how old it was, used it in his car and apparently had no issues.
I was just worried there might be something in the dirt which could affect my tyres. If there is a slight possibility they would be worse off on dirt vs say concrete, then I'll be putting down some pavers/digging in some rocks
I think you should take all 4 wheels off, sit your car on blocks, so theres no flat spots on the tyres, store the tyres inside your bedroom where it's around 20-23 degrees...
This way, no one can steal your car too.
You should drain your tank completely, remove it, clean it, reinstall it.
Attach a battery trickle charger to the car, so the car has constant current so rust on the body parts won't form...
I'm glad you asked this question because this is 100% my situation with my CRX. Dirt, Toyo R1R's, driven maybe twice every three weeks.
Emptying petrol is BS. It's a pressurised system and yes the fuel will eventually go 'stale' but it takes much longer than one eff'ing week lol. Jack stands, yeah maybe if it's gonna be a month or more, but you're usually safe for 6-8 weeks more or less.
Just make sure your tyres have good pressure when you drive again. Disconnect the battery if it's old (I used to have problems with this) but once a week is fine still.
dirt wont effect ur tires over a week period lol.... as long as u have good tire pressure, nothing will come out of it parking on dirt. You see farm vehicles always parked on dirt... i dont see why any vehicles cant do the same... .rubber is rubber
