[ "Car Tyre Storage: how to approach it and what to do about it?The first thing to remember is that the best place tostore a tyre is a cool, dry, shaded outdoor location. There are several reasonsfor this: heat, light, and humidity greatly influence the condition of yourtyresAssuming you don't have access to such storageconditions, you'll need to make other arrangements. If not stored correctly,tyres can lose air pressure or even be rendered irreparable if too muchlubricant has been applied or if they've been sitting in water. They may alsodevelop flat spots from uneven weight distribution while being stored uprightIn addition, prolonged exposure to high temperaturescauses the loss of plasticizers in the rubber compound, leading to hardening orembrittlement of the material over timeGenerally, tyres store best in a horizontal position sothat the tread faces downward to allow the weight of the Goodyear Tyres Sturminster Newton to help hold its shape. However,if you have limited storage space or are unable to lay your tyres on theirrims, some other solutions may be available to you:;If your tyres are kept on their rims forstorage, be sure that they're supported by something solid and free ofmoisture. If possible, place them in an upright position with no more than twolayers stored one atop another. Otherwise, you run the risk of flattening outindividual rubber sections, which could cause inflation when reinstalled ontothe vehicleAlso, make sure that there is proper ventilationbetween each layerdon't stack tires on top of each other if they're wet orexcessively warm. If your storage space allows, tyres can be stored flat ontheir tread facesStacking should not exceed two layers deep toprevent warping and flattening the tyre's centre, affecting its wear profileIf storing in this manner, make sure that nosharp objects nearby that might puncture the sidewall rubberdrums, rims, oreven large stones may damage a tires integrity if they come into contact withit during storageTry to avoid stacking multiple layers of tyres at once,as this creates additional strain and weight on individual sections and canlead to accidental flat spots.Tyres do best when stored indoors away from excess heatand moisture, but if you have a stack of tyres in your garage or shed, it's agood idea to lay a piece of plywood between each layer to prevent them fromsticking together during storage. If this is not possible, try using old foam mattressesor other types of cushioning materialIn the end, though, nothing beats keeping your tyres inan excellent dry outdoor location for long-term storagebe sure to check theirinflation once every month or so throughout the winter monthsIf you need extra space to store yourcar/motorcycle/bicycle tyres, we can recommend two products:;- The simple wall-mounted Eyehook (for max. five tyres) -The more expensive but very sturdy and expandable TyreTrellis (for max. 30tyres);For tyre storage, we do not recommend:Standard flimsy and bulky tyre racks or stands -;Cheapunderfloor roll-out systems that can't hold the weight of your tyres properlyand will damage them over time because of poor material choice, lousy designand poor construction quality Underbody rubber storage boxes with half cut-outsto "hook" your car's rubber parts in place - All types of metal wireholders that poke holes through the sidewalls of tyres Wood blocks or woodenpallets as they may warp, rot, or develop cracks over time which could damagefragile rubber items such as tyres, wheel rims, and inner tubesCheap plastic stands or racks that are not designedto support the weight of 4-5 Tyres SturminsterNewton per stand - Common tyre wall organizers that only have small middlehooks and no lateral retainment walls for your tire's sidewalls" ]
