Tire storage

Tire storage
Have a leased G35 auto with 15k on the stock Goodyear tires. These tires suck & are starting to perform terribly due to the rain. I'm thinking of swapping all 4 for Pilots. Since I don't put more than 9k a year on my car, I figure by the time my lease is up (3 more years, total of 5), I could swap the old stock tires back before I turn in the car.
Question is...
Will the stock tires look fine after 3 years of storage? They will be stacked outside exposed to the elements. I can probably put a tarp over them but they will still be exposed to the heat & rain. Anyone have any experience here?
My goal is to enjoy the Pilots that I will be paying dearly for & replacing them with the stockers before & return the car to the dealer.

I am looking at a Brookstone catalog right now that has a "tire garage" for $50. It is a large canvas bag that you can store 4 tires in either inside or outside to protect them and keep them looking new. The item # in the catalog is T510362. I tried to find it on their website and it isn't coming up. I would think you could call the 800 number and order it if you were interested.

i think you'd be better off storing it in the garage if you can. heat is not good for tires
