I want to set car on stands for the winter and wondering where the best place might be? I've got the u-shape tops not flat top stands..does this matter too?? TIA!

 

Why do you want put car on stands for the winter ??
Only time all my cars are on stands is when Iam working on them..
I store them off the stands..

 

Are you asking the best place to store the car? Or the best place to get the stands?

Ideally, the best place to store the car would be in a climate controlled garage.

 

I think he's asking where to place the jack stands under his car. Usually people place them on the pinch welds under both sides of the car. It's ideal to place a car on jack stands during the winter to preserve the tires other suspension components.

 

Yes, precisely what I want to do. I also dislike using those pinch weld points for an extended period. They just seem so thin...like an 1/8". Surely there are others who do this yrly...?

I have never put a car on stands over winter .,Maybe if I was working on it..,MY 6 chevy's , 1940 chevy,1946 chevy 1969 corvette,2001 Impala,2005 Impala SS,2005 Monte carlo SS, ...

 

I just figured that's what people do..? better for the tires??

 

I've never parked a car on jack stands nor have people I know ever done it. Some are afraid of flat spots in tires, but really, that problem went away I think when steel belted radials became standard.
I know a guy that has parked his '94 Firebird since the day he bought it new. Car has about 70,000 miles on it today, never parked on jack stands. No issues. I think it MIGHT still be on the factory struts and shocks (I'd have to check)....
