How do you store your tires?
So I've looked around a little here and M.net but there's no real definitive thread. I just wanted to ask how everyone stores their track/summer only tires for the colder months? I'm pulling my summer tires off and slapping an extra set of wheels on so I can still move the car in and out of the warehouse over the winter, but I'm a little limited on warm indoor space. So I guess my questions are:
-Do you stack them?
-How cold is too cold?
-Do you store your tires pressurized or at a lower PSI?
Thanks in advance,
J.C.

Vertically stacked somewhere in the garage for now. My garage is insulated and only drops to ~50 degrees F in the winter. I usually keep them at 30 psi. I need to do something better soon though, I have enough wheels/tires now that vertical stacks are not the most space efficient. Will most likely look into a wall mounted tire rack before too long.

Just being stored in cold isn't really detrimental, provided we aren't talking about legit Arctic conditions. The point is not trying to use them or put a load on them or bring them up to temp quickly from cold.
You don't think they're transported to the US in climate-controlled containers, then moved to climate controlled trucks, then stored in warehouses that maintain a perfect 72F, do you?
I've been in TR's South Bend warehouse. It was cold. Like low 40s cold.
