This is overkill, but I would:
Make sure they are all aired up and at even pressures then barrel stack them on each other. That way when you pull them out of storage if one is considerably lower than the rest you know there is a slow leak that needs investigation. Also stacking in this fashion, if there is a leak in one of them it won't create a flat-spot in the tread...

Depending on how long you plan to store them, be careful, I believe tires have a usefull life around 6 years or so. Hopefully someone smarter than me can validate if this is true or not.

That's how I store mine - and I put a piece of cardboard in between each tire. Mine are stored for about 6 months at a time (switch between summer and winter wheels) and have not had any problems doing it this way.

To preserve the tires life a little longer soak them completely (tread, front and rear sides) in Armorall and let it penetrate the tires overnight. Then hand wash/dry and put them in a cool, dry, dark place.

Designed and made my own patterned on some sold by a set formerly sold here by forum member Kerry Yoon. I had them hung, along with my extra top, in my last garage. I have a full basement now with plenty of storage room that is climate controlled so I don't need to "clutter" the garage walls this time. You can do this much more easily and cheaper by buying some of the products available out there but I just enjoy doing these side projects myself. I did buy the top hangers fom Kerry though.

Armorall will deteriorate and dry out the rubber in tires, eventually leading to thousands of spiderweb cracks all over the sidewalls.
