How to store tires better
Storage affects aging, shape and the next seasonal change.
Clean, dry and dark
Tires age faster when exposed to sunlight, moisture, oils and heat. Before storage, remove dirt, let the tires dry and keep them in a cool, dry and dark place. Mark the wheel position if the tires will be used again, so rotation decisions are easier next season.
Mounted or unmounted matters
Complete wheels are often stored differently from loose tires. The key is to avoid deformation, moisture and accidental damage. If you are unsure how your set should be stored, ask during the wheel-change appointment.
Use storage time as inspection time
When tires are off the car, it is easier to see damage, uneven wear and age markings. A short look before storage can prevent surprises when the weather changes and everyone suddenly needs an appointment.
