I found these instructions on the A3 forums and I think they are useful for us E60 forum detailers.

This is what nicke60gre should have done ctrl c, ctrl v

Are there any specific precautions to take when storing winter or summer tires?

Follow these few rules and your tires will remain in perfect condition throughout their service life.

* If your tires are stored mounted on wheels, keep them inflated to a pressure of 15 PSI (1 bar).
* Ideally, do not store them in an upright position, but stack them laying flat on their side. If this is impossible, leave them upright and rotate them about once a month to prevent the formation of a flat spot.
* Protect them with plastic bags thick or dark enough to protect the tires from ambient light.
* Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity. Above all, refrain from storing them outside, where they will likely be subjected to temperature swings and high humidity.
* Do not leave them on a moist or greasy floor; isolate them with a wooden plank.
* Keep them at least two meters away from electric motors and radiators. These devices generate ozone which oxidizes tire rubber and deteriorates the tires.

yes that will be my 1st and last time in a audi forum too
