Default ? regarding storing summer tires for winter

I am about to switch my tires soon for snows and was wondering if storing the tires in plastic bags for the next 5 months is ok. The bags are similar to the ones that dry cleaners use.

Default It's rubber. Pretty durable ;-)

The only time you have to worry about tire "storage" is when you are storing a vehicle, not moving it for long periods of time, and the tires develop a flat spot.

You don't plan on leaving the tires outside in extremely cold temps are you? Then in that case, I wouldn't know if the rubber could get damaged. Still doubt it though.

Default Few tips.

In bags is fine. If you're stacking them on top of one another, place a piece of cardboard between them. If placing on concrete, place cardboard or wood beneath them.

Don't store them near running electric motors as they give off ozone deteriotating the rubber

Default I hang mine on the wall

It keeps them off the floor, which is key to garage organization. I use the griots garage wall mount hangers. the long ones hold two wheel tire assemblies each.

Most cool and helps big time in keeping the garage neat.

If I did this right, there should be a link below<ul><li><a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?L1=L1_3000&amp;L2=L2_3010&amp;SKU=9230 0">http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?L1=L1_3000&amp;L2=L2_3010&amp;SKU=9230 0</a</li></ul>
