Try the below, they seem like a cheap option and can be locked as pairs for wider tyres.

Simply push your car backward or forwards one foot, then the weight is on a different portion of each tyre.
I note you have a Vanquish, so fairly heavy. If you are married, I am sure your wife would be pleased to help push.
I did have flat spots on one ocasion. Obviously forgot my own technique. Fortunately, after a few miles and some vicious cornering, the vibration ceased.
I have the Aston Martin branded ones, pricey but very good.

Dont buy the solid plastic pre shaped and a very good call from coolhands or carpet tiles.
if you want to go for it try these http://www.conrero.it/en/prodotti_modelli_en.cfm?w... I have used them and expensive but the best value I could find plus over inflate your tyres check with the dealers.
cheers and happy new year.

I use these very successfully

And I have seen other posts that state they use same or similar.

My Aston’s don’t move a lot between December/February and used to suffer from flat spots before I got my tyre cushions - the Aston one’s - and have to say you can really tell the difference going back to use the car. And before anyone says I should use them more I normally do 8/9k miles across the two a year. I seldom do short trips so they can go 2/3 weeks without being used.

why do you advise against the plastic wheel savers I've used them previously without issue??

If the plastic ones work for you ashway then no problem I am sure many people use them.
But as I have used them with different cars and transmition options there can be issues with certain cars especially with paddle shift and clutch etc. Getting the car off them can mean jacking the car up and removing on one occasion for me.
The other options are much kinder and more user friendly for any car type and the rubber matts suugestions seem very cost affective and would be my prefered starting point IMO.

Understand, I jack the car up and slide them in place so no issues with driving on to them

Why can't you drive onto them? As i was looking at possibly buying these ones - a bit more expensive than the really cheap plastic ones but much less than Aston's or Reifenkissen's:https://www.amazon.co.uk/pieces-cradle-Guard-prote...
These ones look like they are designed to be driven onto. Don't want to phaff about jacking the car up each time.

They look easier to drive on than the yellow FIAMMA ones I have, my garage floor is tiled and they tend to slip as you try to drive on. No big deal for me to raise the car slightly, slide the cradles in from the side then lower.https://www.amazon.co.uk/pieces-cradle-Guard-prote...

Getting the car off can be worse than on I would not go for these imo.Edited by ashway on Thursday 4th January 20:47
