My Vettes are under cover for 3-4 months, depending on the severity of our western winter, without a problem with the tires.

Mine is typically stored for 3 to 4 months.
Just put 42 to 44 lbs in the tires, gas stabilizer in the gas tank then fill it, baggies over the exhaust pipes, battery tender hooked up, and under a cover in teh garage.
At time of start-up, I pull the fuel pump fuse and then give 4 or 5 15 second bursts on the starter to get the oil moving. Then replace the fuse and fire it up. Of course, i pull the car cover and the baggies off first.
No problems so far.

I stored my Vette for six months every year when we lived in Michigan. I did a thorough winterizing, and left it sit until spring. Never had a problem with tires or anything else. I usually put 40+ psi in the tires. Moisture and rodents are your biggest problems.
