1.   Eliminate The Risks Of Improper Summer Tire Storage

Tires are durable and built to last for 6-10 years, but a single season of improper storage conditions can easily damage or even destroy your set.

To keep your tires in good condition, manufacturers recommend:

• Maintaining a storeroom temperature below +15 ºC (60ºF) and over 0ºC (30 ºF). Temperatures above 25 ºC or below 0 ºC (30 ºF) can negatively affect the properties of the rubber compounds and decrease the final service life of the tire.
• Keeping the storeroom dark, so the sun does not heat the storage space and UV rays do not degrade your rubber.
• Controlling humidity. Extreme humidity causes tires to swell and deform. Your storeroom should be free of any condensation.
• Minimizing exposure to oxygen and ozone, both of which deteriorate tires.
• Protecting tires from solvents, oils, grease, and heat, which can ruin tire treads, sidewalls, and rubber compounds.

Additionally, you’ll need to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper stacking height, and adjust your approach accordingly depending on whether your tires are on or off-rims.

Neglecting even a single one of these manufacturer’s recommendations can seriously damage your tires, reduce their final service life, and void your warranty coverage, all of which forces you to pay out of pocket for repairs and replacements.

Why not leave it up to the experts instead? When you go pro, you eliminate the risks of improper tire storage, maximize service life, and keep your warranty coverage intact.

2.   Eliminate Summer Tire Storage Start-Up Costs

Unless you find room to stow your tires in your home, most drivers will need to invest in humidity control solutions, blinds or curtains to block out the sun, and cooling or heating systems in order to meet all of the manufacturer’s recommendations listed above.

In many cases, these start-up costs exceed the costs of professional summer tire storage, even before you factor in any additional costs required for gas, delivery, or shipping and handling.

But by going pro, you eliminate these start-up costs altogether.

3.   Simplify Seasonal Changeovers With Summer Tire Storage
