Happy, I too think they are. The problem comes in when they are exposed to the sun. If parked indoors or shaded from the sun should be no problem.

Indoors is ok if there are no sources of electrical sparking such as from power tools used in the garage. Electrical sparks generate ozone which is just as bad as the ultraviolet from the sun. Fluorescent lights also generate UV light. Overall the damage risk is much less when the TM is stored indoors but there is still the possibility of some damage to the rubber.
