Question about proper storage of summer tires
I am about to install snows on my car and was wondering if it is ok to stack the tires on top of each other horizontally with the rims in place. Will this cause any damage to the tires having all this weight on top of them? Also, should I leave the tires fully inflated or deflate them alittle?

depends on the weather
just take them off
stack them up on top of each other
put them in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight and away from electric motors

Furthermore, I read it somewhere that I should deflat the tires to about 15 PSI for storage.
