I guess I wonder how storing tires seem to have all these rules, but when they are on your car I'm sure they are subjected to much more abuse. I'm having a hard time believing my tires that are just sitting uncovered in my garage are going to have issues versus ones that are stored in a bag. Maybe I'm just out to lunch on this...
I keep mine in my garage. I think he most important part is direct sunlight. It breaks down rubber compounds over time. I think if they are out in the elements in the freeze thaw and direct sunlight without moving for months in end it isn't helpful to the rubber compound.

Really if you have them in a sheltered garage out of direct light and elements I would think you would be fine. If not just throwing a tarp over them would help too.
