Storing stock tires on C43 Sedan?

Dumb question. If took off my stock 18 in conti runflats and put new tires on, would the old tires fit in the car with back seats down to bring them back to my house to store in my garage. Car is the C43 sedan. Dealers wants $38 a month to store old tires!

Trying to figure out logistics.

I used to swap between my run flat tires and non-run flat tires. I have 19's and it worked to haul them in my sedan. Just bag the tires and with rear seats down it will work. I gave up on the run flats, and now they just take space up in the garage.

Most tire stores offer free plastic bags specifically for transport and storage.

Yeah! Thanks. Dumping the Conti Pro Contacts SSR for Pilot Sport A/S 3+. Going to go through one set of tyres before lease return anyway so might as well drive on good ones.

The guy at dealership seemed to think dropping the run flats would be a big step up in ride quality.

Yes, stock wheels will fit in the back of the sedan. I had mine switched at the dealer, they provided bags and placed them in the trunk/back seat for me.
