GavinL Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Hi... I now have two sets of wheel and tyres for my car. Obviously one set has to be stored whilst not in use so I have bunged them in the shed. Is there a proper way too store tyres ? I am assuming that being in the dry and out of sunlight should be enough. Thanks..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 If they're mounted on wheels they should be iether hung , or laid flat , otherwise they should be left upright ... least that's what the michelin website says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nick Harris Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Sounds odd but due to the high silica content of modern tyres, you should coat them in something like 'Pledge' or 'Mr Sheen', don't polish them just spray,lay on some grease proof paper and separate each tyre if you stack them with a sheet of this paper. Cover with any old bedsheet and they will last quite some time without decay, if you stack 4 high then the bottom one should be put on top monthly, otherwise stacked in pairs will be fine.

Chris Wilson Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Heavy gauge black plastic bin liners to keep UV light off them. Keep them cool, wash them free of road salsts and grime before storing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
