I plan to buy snow tires for my car. I'm only buying 2 because it's front wheel drive. Instead of wasting time and money in having a tire shop taking them on and off from the rims. I'm buying my own separate rims for the snow tires. I live in the southern portion of New York State (Downstate) and it's snows maybe a few times a year which means that I only need my snow tires on for a week or so during each snow event. When not in use, I plane to keep the snow tires on it's rims and keep them in the garage. How can I best store these tires to prevent rot and/or flat spots? Shall I store then on a workbench shelf in my garage? Should I lower the PSI on the tires or leave them as they are? Or...will they eventually rot if keep in the garage and only used once or twice a year in between snowstorms?

I have 4 used bridgestone Nex Try tires that I'm storing until i take off my continental pro contact and extreme contact from the rear. Not stacking them on eachother anymore, hoping they do not flex or change.

Tires are only good for 5 years after they are made so ya better check those DOTs

Would a Jeep Wrangler or a 4x4 Pick Up Truck need winter tires? I know that people use huge tires to go off road and have like Monster Truck Vehicles. But would a regular stock jeep wrangler need winter or snow tires for an average snow storm in an urban city?
