There's no problem with unmounting and mounting tires 2 or 3 times as long as they're not damaged but again, Michelin would have to tell you specifically how many times the particular tire can be cycled.
Hi,

Wow, the benchmarks you profer are at the extreme of what is typicaly accepted as the norm. 5 Years is the utmost a tire should be kept unmounted, no consideration for mounted tires whatever. Where are you getting your info?...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
