My question is... is there something I should buy to spray on or inside the tires to keep it "fresh", like Armor All? Or I just leave it alone, planning to put 'em on the rims soon (next month)?
Leave them alone. The tires just age, the rubber breaks down over time and the belts rust. Nothing you can really do to stop that. If you try, you risk making it worse.
