Abstract: A protective parking pad constructed of compressible and resilient material with temperature insulating properties and constructed to the appropriate size and dimensions to allow a set of protective parking pads, as disclosed, to be positioned on the floor of a parking area so that each tire of a parked vehicle rests on one protective parking pad. The object of the invention is to support the vehicle tires in a manner which maintains a round shape and to insulate the vehicle tire from rapid heat transfer to the floor of the parking area; thereby, protecting the vehicle tire from receiving a temporary or permanent deformation or “flatspot”.
