Best Way To Store Mounted Tires?

Ever since I dropped the Ronals on my car I'm stuck with 4 mounted new tires to the old wheels. I ran them at 28 and ever since then I usually bring them back up to 28 once i month (they just sit in the garage)... Is this OK? Should they be lower/higher?

Well, pressure is not the main concern. Whatever you do they will be useless in 2 years time because of natural ageing. Tire warehouses keep them deflated ofcourse. Avoid light, avoid heat at all costs.

Smile storage

Your best bet is to deflate them and put them into large (preferably dark colored) storage bags. This will slow the aging process a bit. Stack them sideways and put them on either a wood pallet or on some corrugated cardboard unless you are fond of round black rings on your floor. I have 4 sets of tires and wheels in my storage shed and so far so good.
