Storing your summer wheels/tyres
I have just taken off my summer wheels and was curious what to do with them. Should I deflate the tyres and remove them from the wheels or leave them up? Is there any danger of them degrading over winter in a shed?

Have you given up on Summer already? You've not fitted your mudguards yet, have you?
Yes I've given up on summer
mudguards are on 
Don't think I've ever had tyres for different seasons. I buy a set and use them till they need replaced.
If you aren't going to use the 'summer' bike then hang it up and deflate the tyres for the duration.
and this year i'm not really sure we have had a summer.
Just use your summer tyres in the winter
What are "summer wheels"?
N=1
I bin any tyres that I have used during the summer. There are usually cuts / nicks / faults in them anyway. I've had a few (summer) tyres degrade over the winter, to the point they've blown the side walls out.
