[ "A Guide To Storing TyresA single set of tyres does not work throughout the year for most drivers. That is especially true if you live in an area with extreme seasonal changes. You likely switch between at least two sets of 4x4 Tyres London  summer and winter. What happens to the one which is not currently in use? You have to put it away in a storage space until it is time to bring it out.If you have some experience with cars, you must already know the importance of tyre care. You, of course, have to put in the work to maintain the tyres when they are fitted on your vehicle. However, you should not limit your efforts only to this time. The off-season set requires as much of your attention. Storing your tyres appropriately will ensure they last for a long time. They sustain enough damage on the road as it is. Thus, you must avoid harming them further when they are locked away in a storage unit. Improper treatment during this time can cause the tyre material to distort and deteriorate slowly. The pattern on the tread might be lost. It could also end up cracking or splitting. You can always entrust a garage to store your tyres for you. But if you want to take it up in your own hands, you have to be careful. Here we have described a general guide to storing your tyres to help you outKeep your tyres clean:After running for hundreds of kilometres, it is natural for your tyres to become dirty. But you must not store them in such a condition. Take some soap and water to wash out all the mud and dirt. Avoid dressing your tyres:A few garages recommend the application of some type of coating before storage. However, this is an unnecessary step and can do more harm than good. Modern tyres are made of resistive materials, offering adequate protection against ozone and other factorsPut your tyres in bags:Never leave your tyres out in the open. Get hold of some large plastic bags and use them to cover your tyres. Make sure the bags are dry and airtight. Before closing the open end, get rid of most of the air inside. The tyre inside will thus be in a controlled atmosphere with minimal rubber oil vaporisation. ; Tyre totes serve a similar purpose, and they are super easy to carry. However, they are not usually airtight. So you might have to double pack them  first in the plastic bag, then in the tyre tote.Stay away from the sun and chemicals:Your tyres can tolerate rough road conditions, but they are deterred by the sun. Rubber, being sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, degrades on prolonged exposure to sunlight. Aside from sunlight, rubber is also affected by various chemicals. Ozone exposure is a pretty common cause of tyre damage. That is why your storage area should be free of ozone sources. These include electric motors, generators, compressors, switches, etc. Other chemicals such as solvents, lubricants, fuels, etc., should not be in the vicinity of your tyres eitherStoring correctly:Once you find an ideal location, it is time to place the tyres. You can either stand them up or stack one over the other or hang them from hooks. It is recommended that you go for the first method as it puts minimal strain on the tyres. If you do not have ample space to do so, you can stack them into short piles. To keep your tyres fitted onto the wheels, you can hang them up on walls. That will save you a lot of space. However, do not make the mistake of hanging unmounted tyres, as the rubber will stretch and get distortedWell-maintained tyres are essential for vehicle performance as well as safety. Keeping your Tyres London in tip-top condition can be difficult, especially during storage when they are out of sight. Keeping the above tips in mind can help. But the above guide is not foolproof as tyres age regardless of how well you take care of them." ]
