I know it is a waste to have a car sit, believe me but I have little choice at the moment.

Yes the Trailer Queen argument is a tough one because some people see it as a waste of a car. Driving a valuable car however is a calculated risk.
I have a garage and a building full of cars and memorabilia. Some people call it a museum. I see the cars and the stuff as art, and like most of us many are stored in car capsules. Some are prepped for long term storage, some I drive. The ones I drive do have 35 to 50 year old tires and some are tubed for safety and inspected
Like you I have committed to the preservation of the cars and the history and that's what I like. Some guys like to get them out and bang gears and roast the tires.
To each his own.
