Winter Tire Storage

Laura Hasney - Tuesday, April 12, 2011

To properly store your tires:

* Put each tire in it’s own storage bag. 

* The perfect environment for your tires would be a clean, cool, dry, dark and well ventilated space, like a garage, basement or a waterproof shed. If storing your tires in a heated room make sure the tires are shielded from the heat source.

* If storing in the basement or garage, don’t put the tires directly on the cement floor. Put them on a wooden pallet or shelf.

* Because tires are highly engineered products composed of a variety of materials, they must be protected from heat, light, moisture, ozone and deformation during storage.

* Solvents, fuels, lubricants, and chemicals should not come into contact with tires.

*The best way to store tires in on their sides in a tire rack. But realistically, most folks are not going to invest in one. Most people will stack them. If you do this,  then do not stack more than four high and never put anything on the stack of tires.

This tip is for tires NOT on rims. If the tires are on the rims, then you DO want to stack them, and not have them on their sides in a rack.
