Exclamation Cracked Tires Grand Sport

So I pulled the car out of the garage to clean her up for the start of nice driving weather. It's a 2018 Grand Sport and all the tires are cracked! It sat in the garage attached to the house. I can't believe that just sitting in a garage could cause such severe cracks. I've read where the tires can't be in weather colder than 20 degrees. Has anyone else dealt with this issue? Besides replacing the tires, do I need to take them off in the winter and store them in my living room? Seems silly....

My ironman tires had the same issue. My friend told me not to store tires in a place with sub-freezing temperature because the rubber compound will freeze and it will crack as a result.
