FWIW - !! That's an important note.

Store them above freezing if your winters are that cold. I learned this from a job I did at a Ferrari/Maserati dealership who was talking about needing heat in their tire warehouse.. I asked why? ..They said there is enough water content in some competition compounds they will freeze-crack when it's cold enough.
