        my R comps spend every winter oustide inthe shed with no real ill effects. I wouldn't leave a car sit on THEM over the winter but other tires (even soft summers) are probably fine.

        Honestly, last year when i stored my car, I parked it in the garage with the intention of doing a bunch to it, I didn't even put stabilizer in the fuel or pull the battery out.

        I got in it in april and turned the key and started it up, and drove around... didn't even need a jump. Did drive it to the carwash though, it was DUSTY.

                I believe they explain on the first page the steps to take of storing for longer periods than one season.

                          I have a heated garage but I go :

                          -Park car inside
                          -drain all coolant out (in case heater faults then doesn't freeze and crack block, yes i know antifreeze is good for like -40 I just dont trust it)
                          -Put car on 4 jack stands
                          -Crack windows to keep ventilation
                          -Put battery in basement on wood riser(cement kills batteries usually)
                          -Begin the tear down
