Mine are on the car now (which is in the garage for the winter), but in the future they will be stacked in the corner when I put my winters on. Please clarify.

Its recommended that tires are stored in climate controlled location. Cold weather conditions on a performance tire can cause and accelerate dry rot and crack the treads. Plenty enough people do store them in sheds and have no issues, but is it worth the risk? Your tires are the only thing that keeps your car planted on the road. Compromising their integrity is taking a big gamble. All season tires (more like 3 season tires) are typically a harder compound, making them fair a little better in the cold, but still not recommended. i try to store my extra tires in closets, corners, under beds, even put the couch on top of a set for the season
