The Importance of Keeping Your Tires Properly Stored

It’s easy to assume that storing your tires when they are not in use is as easy as stacking them in the garage until it’s time for the next tire change. The truth is that keeping your tires in the best condition possible is a little more time consuming than that. In order to ensure they’re ready to go next season, you have to:

• Clean your tires before storing them to remove any gunk or grime that could cause damage
• Store your tires in a cool, dry, dark room that is free from direct sunlight and completely protected from the elements
• Be sure this location does not exceed a normal room temperature
• Make sure your tires will not come into contact with any solvents, fuels, or other liquids while in storage
• Keep your tires away from any external pressure or tension to prevent them from cracking
• Protect your tires from naturally occurring ozone, which can cause them to dry out and crack
• Rotate your pile of tires every four weeks to ensure equal pressure
