I put my RA1s in the basement next to the furnace. I know my garage gets down to the mid 30s and the basement stays in the 50s. The garage would probably be fine, but warmer is better. I also have more room in the basement.

Make sure you bag them as well.
Lots of discussion on the topic of storing track tires in various threads, but here is the summary:
Keep tires off the car, in a warm place, bagged. Take most of the air pressure out of them, lay flat.
Inspect before remounting.
Hope this helps.

Why bagged, w/o air, and laying flat?

Just emptied the trailer and move four sets of wheels/tires to basement for winter storage. I put them in these bags. 2 sets are new, one with 4 cycles and rains. When I'm really done with the trailer (Enclosed Trailex), it will go on jack stands and cover it. How many days until Lime Rock CR?
