How should I store my Mercedes-Benz C-Class?

My wife and I are off down under for two months as a retirement bash. I shall be leaving my 2004 Mercedes C-Class K200 in the garage and unfortunately I have no-one to give it a run now and again. I seem to recall your recommending that one inflates the tyres by 5psi to try to avoid flat-spotting?

Yes, overinflate the tyres by 5psi. Put the car away dry as a bone after a run in the dry to dry everything out. And hook the battery up to a battery conditioning trickle charger.
