Default method to storing NEW tires ??

Is there a great/best method for storing NEW tires (so dry rot, deterioration doesn't set in??) ???

I thought I heard of ways to do it.. wrap them a special way, etc. ??
Any help please.

Keep them inflated. Stack them with cardboard between them indoors. Keep out of direct sunlight and keep them at a steady room temp. That's about it.

Yes.. I'll be doing that here soon.. + probably puting plastic down in between tires instead of cardboard.

Cool. I personally use fender covers. They are cushioned to protect the wheels. Did n't know if you had enough of those tho. lol

yeah.. no fender covers yet!

Its nice having a second set of nice wheels now(summers I use for almost 8mo. of the year, winter tires 4 months) !!!! With my last vehicle(Toy truck) , it had camber/alighment issues(thats how I bought it) , so I was wearing my front tires unevenly(tow in... or is that positive camber??!!) ! Its nice not having tire issues anymore
