Letting my truck sit for 6 months over winter
Is that going to kill the tires? Unfortunately I won't be about to move it periodically. Putting it up on blocks is not an option. FWIW it gets very cold where I live and the tires are M+S rated. ...

If you install a trickle charger with a 2 battery system, does it matter which battery you hook it to ?
No. I hook to one with a Battery Tender Jr. and it sits all winter.
I also have been storing vehicles during the winter for 23 years. What has worked without fail for me in Michigan:
1) Change oil (run a bit to move the oil around and clean off the deposits).
2) Fill the tank and add Stabil (gas or diesel specific). Let run through system.
3) Attach Battery Tender.
4) Cover if you want (mine are indoor). I highly recommend Car Jackets for those of us with classic cars.
5) D-Con (though I will try the one bite noted above). D-Con works everytime. No luck with Tomcat (mice no interest).
6) Leave it alone till its time to start and drive in the Spring.
No failures.
