When you store your tab for the winter how do you protect the tires or do you need to do anything? They are rather expensive so longevity is key lol.

    I do two things which may be overboard. I use Anderson levelers on both tires to cradle the tires in hope to minimise possible flat spots after the long winter. I also cover the tires with tire covers to decrease UV exposure.

    We store indoors.  The facility uses carpet pieces under each tire.

    I park it outside on 2x12s to keep it level and prevent it from sinking into the ground. I don't use any covers other than the trailer cover itself and what Mother Nature provides in the form of snow and ice. My tires are still just fine after five seasons. I suspect they will wear out from use before I have to worry about degradation while parked. YMMV.

    If you are in a high sun area buy a couple of tire covers.....not sure I am too worried about flat spots
