Actually, I also have all my cars on stands. The exceptions are my Midnight Pumpkin and Clodbuster and vintage Bolink Legend (which is hanging on the wall in my shop). I do pull the tires off my offroad buggies to clean them and then place them in a container. Tires are usually still on my on-road cars when they go on their stands.
Yeah, not vacuum seal, but I do place my freshly mounted tires in zip lock bags in sealed containers until it's time to take them out. (Away from sun light away from moisture too). I like how Tamiya's tires come in those resealable bags. I use those often.

Can you recommend me a nice stand for my M03, M05, and V2? I made a stand with 2 narrow sticks of balsa wood on its side glued to a box as the Tamiya's have an odd shape on the bottom.

My CF deck chassis, no issue as it's flat on the bottom.
