Luke, storing tires part II
Pulled my pilot alpins out of storage, one of em has a BUBBLE on the sidewall with only 3k miles 
. Ugh! When storing my firestones how can i be sure they will be in the same condition they were in when i had them on before. They have 1.5k on the tires now. They are still mounted on the tires at 33 PSI, I have then stacked on their side, 3 high and one rim sitting on its tread (all on padded carpet). The room stays around 68-72 degrees at all times. btw, is there anything u can do to help with my 1 pilot alpin that bubbled? It has minimal tread wear on it! I am really bummed about those tires!

depends on the weather
#1 ..... put that fourth tire on it's side just like the other three
#2 .... the problem with your winter tire was there when you put it away for the summer ..... you just didn't see it
#3 call me for a replacement
