Oh, I have to lug (no pun) wheels up from the basement, then back down again.
Do you have the space to use wall mounted tire racks? I use those for the tires I keep in rotation. The long term storage is in the shed or the craw space.

I keep mine in the basement under the stairs. It's a finished basement, and they're tucked out of the way. My wife's snows are in the garage rafters, and the snows for the girls cars are in the shed.
4 cars, two sets of tires for each, and two sets of rims for the G. I've got a lot of tires, LOL.

Ah, sounds like you have a system that works. I can relate on the too many wheels/tires, I just did some rearranging and realized I have 46 wheels and tires! Glad I have places to hide them out of the way.
Then again... math. If I've got two sets for four cars, that's 32 tires.
Yes, you have quite a lot as well, that's what got me thinking about it. I've thought of taking the time to pull them all out to take a picture but the list is roughly:
G37 - 3 sets (2 sets of G35 Rays, 17" base) + 1 shared (G35 Coupe)
S14 - 3 sets (steelies, Z32, Falken) + the shared wheels
Jeep - 2 sets of 5 each (Sport base, *****'s)
Tundra, Civic, and D21 - 1 set each
Okay on second count that's 50, not including the damaged one on my garage wall. In my defense I've had a Bridgestone/Firestone employee discount for over a decade, which lowers the cost of most of these sets.
I drove it to an apple farm and bought some cider.
Then I drove way out of my may to a far away Walmart, where I bought three, 5.1 quart containers of motor oil for upcoming oil changes. After that, I took my time coming home and drove back roads. There's something about how the car runs really well in the Fall. I don't know what that's all about, but this time of year every year I get to thinking how much the car likes the weather. It sounds better, it responds better, it just feels better... which is all in my head, I'm sure. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Nice Autumn day today.
Bit of a late reply to this, but I feel the same way about my car when the weather starts cooling down. The G got sideways on me when I punched it going around a slight corner in 2nd gear, surprised me because it won't normally do that as easily. Caught me by surprise but I was able to correct it, thankfully. The car just feels so.... eager, in that Fall temperature range.
Picked up some used Z1 motorsports cai. Installed without removing the bumper 🙄 Drove around and the car felt better. Been running Fast Intentions HFC and their 2-1/4" catback exhaust for several years but could tell it was running rich and had some dips in power hear and there. The intakes evened it out somewhat. Then pulled the trigger and got a base tune from Z1 during their Black Friday sale. Car smells better and definitely runs better. Going to run it a while then get the level 2 upgrade to get the full benefit of the cats. This past week also installed the Z1 undershroud in black as well as the Morimoto Xb fog lights(still dialing in). Productive week for me. Hopefully get my differential bushings installed next week or so(second failure of the stock bushings) as well as rear camber arms(been sitting in the garage for several years while I eat up tires)
I installed a new brake light blinker. I had a plug-n-play one from BlinkingBrakeLights before, but it didn't really flash how I wanted it to. The one I have now allows adjustment of number of flashes and speed of flashes. It has adjustments in 10 second incredments from off 10-60 to prevent it from blinking again if you have released the brake pedal in the specified period (or you can turn that off). It can also dynamically add more time on the lockout timer if you consistently hit the brake pedal.
I forgot to post this one earlier. I finished the V2 of my custom AT shift ****. Ended up turning my drill press into a makeshift lathe and hand carved it like a wood lathe.
Its extremely comfortable, and a lot nicer than the old cut up boot and beat up ****... and a lot nicer than the phallic V1 lol.
^^As long as it makes you happy, that's all that matters..........
Better than a boot with a hole in it and a **** scratched to hell and peeling. Makes it fun to drive in manual mode when not using paddles. Press down to activate. I do what I want lol.
