I have taken advantage of a super deal on MITAS Classic tires and bought a set for the R100S for 80€. No need to install them before Winter, yet, what's the best way (if there is one) to store them? Lying on the ground or upright?

I have seen both at dealer stores... Hence my question if there is some sort of rationale for storing them one way or another.Tyre dealers usually store them upright. I put mine in a black bin-liner and store them upright in a cool place.
Had to cast my net to find felloes and nobody spoke a word.Come on, I know some of us are knaves but we're all good felloes really...

I would've said store them on their side.
Sorry John, I'm not getting you there... Surely, you can only stack them if they're lying flat on their sides and, if what I was told is correct, you shouldn't do that anyway because it'll distort the carcase. All of the dealers I've seen have custom made racking that carries tyres standing upright individually... like thisSurely it depends on store layout too.
If I had a rack, or rack space, I’d have them on their sides purely for ease, I don’t want to take off the first five or six or ten tyres to get to the bottom one of the right size......... unless they hold so much stock of the same size.
I don’t know of course, but I’d expect a dealer to hold mostly common sizes and order in as needed the rarities. Surely no dealer expects to have tyres in stock that long so they pass their use by date.
