Default Race Tires, Winter Storage?

I know, I know, bring your race tires in the house over the winter, away from electirc motors etc. But................My tires are mounted and the wheels are mounted on the bike, safety wired, ready to roll, so I would rather not remove them. So my question is, do any of you think it would be alright to mount my tire warmers and plug them in to a timer, say 5min on then 10min off, and only do this when the temps are around freezing.

Squale147, you forgot to mention, "then carefully flick your bic between the WD can and tires, then press down on the spray button" lol. Seriously, after thinking about this for a day or 2, I've come up with an idea. Light bulb went off in my head. I'll keep you all updated.
