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.  Quote:

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. Quote:

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 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.

Swapped 'em out. AMGs back on.  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.
