If you put the car up on blocks and cover them from sunlight, then they will be fine.
Leaving the car on the ground creates flat spots that make the tires noisy and bumpy.
People often leave RVs undriven for years with no problem to the tires, as long as they are covered from sunlight, and the weight it taken off.
But the biggest thing is the battery.
Take it out and put it on a trickle charger.
Otherwise the security system, remote, etc. will wipe the battery out in a month or so.

You can coat them in dressing, like "armor all", then hope they don't dry rot much. Removing them or off the car will prevent flat spots or belt damage.

Replace them when you get back.
