I've always stored mine in plastic bags for the winter and had no problems.

12 psi for the slicks stored in a trashbag with the opening tied up to keep out the moisture.

you definitely want to pull them off the car unless they are scrap slicks.. usually what i do is keep the good slicks on in bag tied up tightly so no moisture and grime and keep them in a nice cool place not too hot and not too cold...

keep air in them. I have never had a set that held air like street tires. I put 30 psi in them and I check them daily ( since there in the garage and so am I everyday). I'm not sure if it matters that much, but it doesn't look good when they have been empty for a while.

Is it bad to keep them below freezing temperature?

I'm going to be using mine about once a month, but all year round since here in Florida we don't have tracks that close in the winter months. Should I be tieing them up in garbage bags every month to keep them safe? I've never heard of having to do that before, but then again this is my first set of slicks so I don't know a whole lot about the maintanence of them.

The biggest thing is to keep them out of moisture. Wrap them in plastic bags and in a cool dry area. Keep out of direct sunlight. Also store them with no air in them.
