Pump your tires

As the car has been sitting in one place, there is a very good possibility that they have lost some pressure. Driving a car with low pressure is not good for the car or the safety of the driver. Also, try to look for the flat spot to detect any issues. Moreover, don’t overinflate the tires of your unused car. This can be very dangerous if the tire’s health has deteriorated over time.
