Default Cracking and flat spots on tires

I have a 2000 ta that sits about 10 months out of the year. Tires that r on it are cracked all over. I'm about to drop another 1300 on some new ones. Anybody know how to keep tires in good shape while car is garaged ?

that just happens after time theres nothing really that can be done.
i have seen people put some carpet under the tires i guess that helps with the flat spots/

the cracking just happens over time even if the car is driven.

just a sugestion but i wouldent waste 1300 on tires just to have the sit there and rot you can get tires(varys with size of course)much cheaper.

i dont drive my car all that much eather and i have nitto drags on the back and there kind of a waste and i dont really drive hard unless im at the track which recently has been almost never.

i can get some nexen 275 40 17's for about 350-400 to my door and since i dont drive hard they serve there purpous.

Man you do have a point on getting cheaper tires, when I do drive the thing, it's usually with a heavy foot going out of town. Have any suggestions and a cheaper tire that would hold up ?

take the wheels off of it if your going to store it for that long. leave it on stands under the axle.
just throw some Khumo's or Vredestein tires on it...
why waste the money on new shoes if your not going to use them?
