First of all, manually jacking up four corners of your car twice a year with the scissor jack is too much work. Get a 2 to 2-1/2 ton floor jack and jack the car up using the center jack points at each end and do two wheels at a time. Store it in your garage.
Frankly, I wouldn't wear out any emergency equipment because it might self destruct when I need it: in an emergency. It would be like using those little cigarette lighter socket powered air pumps you can buy in emergency roadside kits to maintain your tire's air pressure and then finding yourself in the middle of nowhere with a flat, but fillable, tire but a burned out pump.
