Our 2011 5er has been sitting on the same grass lot for 10 months. We have tire covers on them. How long can you let your rig sit without damaging the tires?

Ques. I just put on the TPT system on the trailer only (at this time, will be purchasing other monitors later) the tire pressure for the marabombs is 80psi. What would be a good setting for both low and high tire pressures to monitor? Before we hit the road those tires will be off and better tires on. Thank you.
80 psi low - 90 psi high.

There are a number of reasons for your tires to already be damaged. Are they setting directly on the grass?
When setting for long periods of time on the bare ground water will permeate into the tires carcass causing unseen damages and degrade the tire tremendously.
The chemicals tire manufacturers put in the tire’s compounding mixtures dissipate when not exercised which leads to dry rot and flat spotting.
Was the air pressures checked often? Were they kept at full sidewall pressures? Low air pressure causes overloading damages, even when just parked.
