Where to keep my summer tyres

Took off my summer to put some specific winter ones on, which are needed legally for where I'm travelling too.
Problem is, I don't have a garage to keep them in, and they are too big to go through the loft hatch, so they have to stay outside in the back garden.
I've got them in a shady corner that won't get direct sunlight on them for about 3 months - is there anything else I can do to help keep them in good order?
Thanks 👍

When Avon Cooper produced tyres near us they had large quantities stored on outside racks and they were stored vertically IE just like being on a wheel. You should cover them and have them off the ground. But why not put them in the house prior to going away. That’s one reason I have fitted All Seasons for the last 15 or so years. No faffing with storage.

Kept in black bags - and change to All-Season with 3PMSF next time - a few All-Seasons don't have 3PMSF so choose carefully.

I tried summer/winter tyres but got fed up with getting them changed twice/year and switched to All-Seasons - I use Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ but might try Pirelli Scorpion All-Season SF3 next time.

Another vote for all season in preference to swapping twice a year. Nexen N-blue on mine has the 3PSMF triangle

The OP specifically made the point that where he headed it is a legal requirement to have winter tyres. I seem to recall that all season tyre are not acceptable in many of these places, so it's not an option.
