What was suggested above is definitely the way to go.
I have some old winter tires on the car now which I don't intend to re-use when I get back. So I'm just going to pump it up a bit higher and leave it at that. No problem there!

I think I will. It would be a terrible tragedy if it somehow started a fire though *knock on wood*....
