I put mine in garbage bags in the basement. Every once in awhile I go down and give them a sniff to make sure they're still fresh, though.
Like that "new tire smell' eh Jim?

Just want to add a little clarity on something Brian touched on, Ozone...
Basement storage in a sealed trash bag is almost perfect, but make sure you store them "above" the floor, I have hung them up in the rafters before, just to prevent Ozone damage.
ozone sinks to the floor level, and is generated by any electric motrs in the basement...sump pump, air handler for heatpump, electric or gas furnace blower, or even the fridge or freezer down there.
Of course it's been a long time since I had enough extra money to buy tires and store them....being a
frugal COG'r....
