I got the impression from Herb's post that the tires were already mounted

on rims.  Herb, although I don't think the tires and rims by themselves

weight enough to flat spot the tires over winter, your idea of laying them

flat might be better.  Another idea would be to make a tire rack out of

pipe or 2x4's and store them up in the air perhaps high enough to walk

under.  If the tires and rims are stored flat on a concrete floor, you

might have moisture accumulate under the tires allowing mildew growth on

the tires or rusting the rims if they are steel. IMHO.
