Your tires work hard – so when the off-season comes around, they deserve a break. But tossing them into the garage like a pair of old sneakers? Big no-no. Storing your tires the right way is key to keeping them in top shape for when you need them again. Think of it as sending them on vacation to a tire resort, not dumping them in the attic.
First up, find a cool, dry spot. Tires hate heat and humidity – these are the enemies of tire longevity. Next, don’t let your tires lounge around on the ground. Use tire racks or, at the very least, stack them sideways to avoid pressure damage. Sunlight? Not their friend either, so keep them far from windows. And for an extra layer of protection, cover them up with some tire bags or good old plastic wrap to keep dust and moisture at bay.
Taking these steps isn’t just about being extra – it’s about extending your tire’s lifespan. So give your tires the royal treatment during their downtime, and they’ll reward you with better performance when they’re back in action.
