In this article, we list our top 10 tyre care tips to help prevent problems and increase tyre life before premature replacement becomes necessary.As car enthusiasts, we all understand that rubber tyres are usually the first component of our vehicles that starts getting damaged after some time because the sun's UV rays exposure and road chemicals frequently used in cleaning roads and streets can deteriorate rubber compounds rendering them porous and cracked. Hence, it's very important to take good care of tyres if you want to save yourself from replacing them before their time comes or lessen their degradation processBecause keeping Debica Tyres Birmingham well preserved is a rather difficult task, many car owners still face the difficulties of storing their tyres for longer periods, so I thought that sharing my few simple tricks about tyre storage could be helpful to those with this issue.Tyre Storage TipsTyres are made from synthetic rubber polymers which are called elastomers, these compounds consist of elements that are very vulnerable to UV rays exposure so they need protection against it or otherwise they can degenerate within a few days depending on weather conditions. The best way to do it is by covering them with dark opaque materials, but I know it's not practical because you would not like spending hours doing this before rolling out your car for a drive, that's why there are other ways to store tyres for longer periods and they're not difficult to be done.The first thing you need to do is after removing them from your car or their rims make sure that they are spotless before continuing, if there's any dirt on them I advise you cover the dust with a protective film made especially for wrapping tyre walls which can easily be purchased in most automotive shops, it will prevent dust particles from entering between layers of rubber and their alloy wheels while tyres are storedThe next step is adjusting your tyre pressures again to recommended ones (typically written on the sidewall), this process will decrease tyre bulges by about 10-15% because if pressured air gets out while storing under pressure the compound will still think there's some amount of pressure inside even when it's released so it will behave like this for the whole storage period.After you've done these two things, now comes the time to decide how long do you want to store your tyres, I usually choose 2-3 months as a maximum period for this because anything more than that may negatively affect their compounds again because of high water content in still air which is no good for rubber. So if you wish to keep them longer than 3 months, find dry areas with 50% humidity or less, but be sure there are no rat holes nearby because they love chewing well-preserved rubber compounds too. And lastly, make sure that your tyre rims are clean before storing them away because any dirt particle can cause rust spots on alloy surfaces which are very difficult to be removed.A dirty car tyres Birmingham is the key for good storage, keep them clean and covered with protective film.After all this, I hope you find these tips help because they helped me store my tyres safely for 2 long years before using them again with no signs of degradation or damage. I wish you the best of luck.Protect them from the elementsMost tyres that need replacing at short notice are used on the road; there is no such thing as an 'unused' off-the-road (OTR) tyre  they're all used sooner or later! This is why it's essential to look after them correctly once removed from their host vehicle or machine. And remember: neglecting to store tyres properly not only reduces value but may also cause deterioration and shorten their life.Hot and cold extremes or prolonged exposure to sunlight can adversely affect OTR tyres. If you store your tyres in an open yard, protect them with a suitable cover such as breathable polythene sheeting which is secure enough to keep out vermin but allows good aeration during dry weather.Alternatively, invest in purpose-built tyre storage arrangements such as those now available in stainless steel and concrete. These come in various sizes and shapes and include convenient features like drainage and ventilation points (and even dehumidifiers). Some are also designed to stack one on top of another, making economical floor space use while promoting air circulation around each tyre for optimum protection against condensation and rapid deterioration." ]
