From what I have learned of todays new summer tires it is okay to store most summer tires in cold temps, so long as they are warmed slowly, naturally back to above 40 before use. The rubber compounds can take the swing in temp and come back to their designed spec. How many times this can occur without some degrading I do not know. You loose performance/grip with most summer tire compounds when temps start getting below 40F.
