4 – PAY ATTENTION TO TIRES
Move the car once a week as mentionned to change the support point of your tires. That will avoid your tires from being stressed and also deformed. Same apply to store your winter tires.
However, check the tire pressure often as this can impact handling, wear and driving quality. As temperature finally gets better, pressure is also changing (law of physics!) and needs to be adjusted.

Tips for keeping your car in good condition during COVID-19.
Tip #3: Mind the brakes
If your vehicle is parked for a while, some rust may be now covering your brake system.
1 – Start slowly and perform a few brakes pressing gently on the pedal. This will remove rust on the surface of the rotor.
2- if the noise does not stop after a few brakes, rust has probably damaged more that just your rotor and you should perform a brake service.
3 – Hand brake: It’s best not to use the hand brake unless your vehicle is parked on a slope. When the hand brake is engaged, the cable that connects to the back axle tightens. If the hand brake is engaged for a long period of time, problems may arise when it is released.
