How do you store your mounted race tires over winter?

 

On their sides in black plastic bags to block the uv light in a somewhat temperature controlled garage.

 

I’m just stacking mine in a spare room in the house, but I live alone so I have the place to do that. Also my race season is 11 months long so there not really in storage that long.

Your race tire has enemies:
Weight on one spot without moving the tire- store them flat on the ground on their sides.
Dirty stuff from the track- clean them off after your event
Ultraviolet light- keep them out of sunlight at the track and at home-cover with large opaque air tight plastic bag is OK
Ozone- keep them stored in cool dry place away from electric motors, furnaces or sump pumps.
Tire dressings- avoid these. Tires are formulated not to need these.

I keep them in my heated shop - ha! Seriously, try to keep them in a place to avoid extreme temps and temp deltas, and keep them in a bag to avoid UV, as mentioned above - a big black trash bag works.

Sucks to be you. 11 months a year here also. This year we had 22 "local" events with more to be had within an hour and a half drive.
