Tire cradles and display pads

Protect the tires of a car that stands for weeks or months, or present it on an illuminated platform.

Why a cradle: the same car, parked with and without one

Pressure map with a FlexiGel cradle: mostly blue, the load spread over the whole tread
Pressure map without a cradle: mostly red, the load concentrated on the tread blocks

Drag the handle to compare. Measured pressure on the tread of a parked tire.

Where the weight goes

These are pressure maps of a tire's contact patch: the part of the tread touching the ground. Red is high pressure, blue is low.

Parked straight on the floor, the load presses hard into the tread blocks. In a FlexiGel cradle it spreads over a wider patch and the pressure stays mostly blue.

What that pressure does over months

On the garage floorWithout CARPADS

Tire is still round.

On a FlexiGel cradleWith CARPADS
gel takes the load

Tire stays round. The gel gives way instead, spreading the weight across the tread.

Illustration. Deformation is exaggerated so it is visible. How quickly a flat spot forms depends on tire type, vehicle weight, tire pressure and temperature.

FlexiGel tire cradles

A gel cradle, 2.5 cm high, made in Germany. It spreads the weight evenly across the tread, which keeps the tire round and takes strain off the suspension. Customise it with your own logo.
