Some people/companies are suggesting to :confused:

I put mine outside stacked one on top of the other, i'll let you know if fail happens

I keep mine stacked in bags in the garage. Mild fail haha

when i got rims i kept my stocks stacked up in the garage inflated, couple years later when i put them back on to get my winters placed on the rims they were fine

tire totes.

cant deflate, might not be able to reinflate without a bead blaster, at least the rear 2...

Remember clean and wax your tires before you store them !! Use extra coating of wax at hard to reach places so when you have remounted you won't get brake dust in hard to reach places.

Get the Michelin Tire Totes, $8 a pair from a place called MFT at the Langley side of GEB.

My understanding is that you're to minimize oxygen contact as that it hardens the compounds, just like rubber. But we're talking about YEARS/DECADES here, so 4 months is nothing. Personally I didn't bother with bags. You'll wear out and replace your tires way before this will become an issue. However, if you were leaving them out in direct sunlight, I'd move them to the shade.

Why can't tires touch concrete for extended periods? This is news to me.

I have mine stacked, but that's just because it's the most space-efficient. The other reason in theory is to prevent flat spots if you store them upright, but the weight of a rim + tire is nothing compared to the weight on them when they're mounted on your car and you're parked. Again, more overkill.

i just threw my rims/tires on the ground of the garage.

Same, except in the shed outside

lol those are pretty pimp, like F1 tire warmers

I use the tire totes from Canadian Tire and the cardboard cutouts from the TireRack when they shipped my wheels so as not to scuff the faces.

I washed my wheels and dried them and also put a coat of wax before "bagging" them up in the totes and they are stored in "guest room" as there's no room in the garage.

have you guys taken off the snow tires yet? It was so warm today, washed my car wearing a tshirt and shorts....
Very tempted to swap the tires.

swapped like 3 weeks ago.

Swapped on Saturday... didn't want to autocross on winters when it's this warm out.

Swapped 'em out. AMGs back on. :D Tried my new torque wrench and breaker bar too. 3x easier than before. (used to use my factory wrench) Now to pick up a hydraulic jack..

This is so much better than last winter.

Swapped them out today.

Guess what Birthday Present I got! My mom washed my car! Awesome right? (My birthday isn't in a few days). That's actually what i wanted, my car was dirty as fuck and I got lazy at washing it.

You are speaking about your mother. Washing your car.
