Default Question on Tires

For those that have extra sets of wheels and Tires. I have had a separate set of tires sitting without air but still mounted on the wheels for about 5 months. Is it ok to leave them laying flat or am i better off driving on them every now and then ?

Thanks,

Rubber builds a memory. I'd inflate them at least. If you leave them flat and at any point they are standing upright they will build a memory on the flat area of the tire.
