Storing tires/wheels for winter???

Havent heard much talk as to how everyone who put snow tires and wheels on their RX are storing the stock ones.

I have mine cleaned spotless in the basement stacked on top of one another with cardboard in between each wheel so the rims don't scratch. Is this what other people are doing or should they be kept standing upright for pressure and balancing purposes??

Good question mcballz13. I'd like to know too as I have mine in two stacks of two currently. Don't know if there's any "magic" to storing them as I never have done this before...

I bought $5 bike racks from Lowes and hung the wheels on my garage wall.
