Wood plywood or boards so the tires aren't on dirt.

A couple of cement patio blocks from your local Home Improvement depot would do nicely ... in lieu a sturdy plank ...

 Well that would solve the problem of the cats sitting on the seat and getting it dirty.  I think I'll probably just find something like paving stones or whatnot to put under the tires.  But thanks for the suggestion.

Be careful what you put under tires, as some things could hurt tires much more than plain dirt, like some glues and oil in some wood's or so says some experts.

If anyone has scientific evidence that plain dirt hurts tires in any way whatsoever, I'd like to see it. The question comes up often in the very large,..and active forum,..RV.NET, and the answer is always the same,.....no it doesn't. I asked that question there many years ago because my motor home cool cover has dirt floors. I am far from a rubber/dirt expert, but in my experience of over 50 years, I have never seen any dirt caused dammage of tires parked on dirt,....some as long as 30 yrs. In fact the bottom part on the dirt suffers less rot-deterioration than the rest that is exposed to sun etc.

 I park my bikes in a garage with concrete floor but I still put them on a board.

JOG-2 what month do you park your bike for the winter?
