Storing wheels and tires questions

Well I've had my rims off since late october and I have had them in my garage. I had to move them because of water getting in due to melting snow.
1. I put the tires and wheels in my house so they are at room tempature right now. I think this is fine, maybe?
2. What psi should the tire be at when stored? I ran them at about 32 psi and to store them I dropped it down to 19 psi. Is this ok?
Thanks for the help, Brad

tires are very durable all you have to do is keep them inflated an out of the elements garage is fine, inside you house is even better. Temperature isn't really that big of a factor

you should have them in a cool, dry place. If you inted on storing them for a long time, I recomend putting each of them in sealed plastic bags. that way the oils will dry out slower and the tire will last longer in storage. And keep them out of direct sunlight.
ushually a tire is good for about 4-6 years from the time of manufacturing. after that the rubber gets to dry and is prone to cracking.

storing them for a lomg time isn't bad,just keep it inflated and nothing could go wrong but be sure to place it in a room temp.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]and when you decided to put them back it's better to check you tire's pressure
