I don't know about pressure-treated wood. I use plain ole 2x8, 2x10 or 2x12 untreated pine planks if I have to store the 5er outside. And yeah, those pine planks last only a year or so before they are either rotten or the termites ruin them. But my 5er is usually stored in the barn with Masonite siding between the tires and the concrete floor.
And yeah, if stored where the sunshine can hit the tires, cover the tires with something to prevent the UV light from getting to the rubber.
But even with care, trailer tires should not be kept in service for more than about 5 years. Even if they still look brand new, after 5 years replace them with new tires. Then you'll have a lot less chance of "trailer tire problems" while on the road.
