Storing Rims for the summer

This is probably a dumb question, but can i just stack them and leave them fully inflated?

I built a rack up on top of the rear door of my garage for my snow tires/rims.
They’re out of the way, yet easy enough to get to when I need them.
I keep them fully inflated and put a good coat of conditioner on them before storage.

Also a good spot for Christmas lawn ornaments as you can see.

shawn, how much tread you have left on those blizzaks, and how many miles you put on them?

how many seasons you think their good for, for you?

also, where's the review for the falkens?

We had a mild winter this year and I didn’t even have to put them on the car ONCE.
They were on for only 2,000-miles over the 2000/2001 season and show virtually ZERO wear.
I even labeled them with tape so I knew where they came off the car.
I expect at least 3 or 4 more seasons out of them.

Falken review is coming soon. Maybe next week.
