Phil, I certainly go along with keeping your tires inside the house during those cold northern winters, but what does the "wrapping" do ? And what do you wrap them with ?
I am not a chemist, but I would guess that there is some reaction between the rubber and the oxygen and ozone in the air, but that would require a air-tight bag that has all the air sucked out of it. Wrapping doesn't sound air-tight.
