Rob, I usually check the tire pressure, clean the rims and tires up real good and stack them on top of each other with a large lawn type garbage bag covering them up if they are to be stored in a dry place.

If you have chrome wheels, you also can wax them and then leave the wax on them for a protective coating.

If they are going to be stored in a damp place, such as a basement, lightly coat them with vegetable oil.

What's up, JR? Long time no see!

I usually leave the tires on the Firebird, and drive them year round...

Hehe, seriously tho, I heard one of the major causes of tire breakdown is leaving them in the sun (UV rays) or in a hot place (above garage during summer).
