Maybe not so bad with a centre stand as the back is off the ground and there is only a bit on the front I supose.....read somewhere that by letting the tyres down a few psi,s relaxes the rubber so as to help with the walls and in between the treads to stop cracking and perishing!! i used to do it with my caravan tyres when not being used for months at a time and it worked for that!! ....i have a norton commando in storage and its been there for years and the tt100 dunlops are still like new so it must work!!...the carpet idea just stops any damp getting into the rubber!....and yes i suppose it wouldnt hurt to lift the front wheel?...but ive never bothered! and they been fine?
And why not ride in the winter - there are plenty of good dry days to be had
