Storing your bike (Inflated tires) in hot places?
I did a search, but couldn't find exactly what I wanted.
I'm going to start storing my bike (soon to be bikes) in my shed in the back yard. In the summer it gets filthy hot in there(probably stays 80-100+ degrees in there). Should I let some air out of my tires when I hang it up?
Any feedback is appreciated.

I regularly store my bike at full pressure in 110 degrees, cooler is not really an option during the summer here. I have never had a problem with tires. Stored inside the car temps have even hit 130 degrees and above and no problems.
