Ryan,

I wash the tire and wheel, reduce pressure to about 5 psi, put them in a tra=
sh bag, and use vacuum to remove as much air as possible.  Then I store them=
 upright (not flat!) in a corner of my family room.  The room is quite large=
 and my wife never knows they are there because they are behind her treadmil=
l, which never gets used.  lol
