Default Storing drag tires

Put a new set of MT drag radials on some spare rally rims for the past weekend at Cecil. It'll be several months or more before I go to the track again so I'm putting the street tires back on. Is there any particular way I should store the drag tires when I'm not using them? Thanks

Out of the sun, cool dry place. Basement if you have one.

out of the sun & laid flat stacking them, not upright like they were on the car to avoid flat spots. as mentioned out of sunlight & inside a garage or house. i keep the rears & front runners stacked in the basement.

Not a bad idea to air them down during storage

Don't put any type of chemicals on the tires like tire shine just keep them dry and cool out of sunlight and if they are mounted to Wheels as you said set them on their side to avoid flat spots

Put each in a trash bag to keep that slick smell contained.
