Tyre Storage
Tyre storage is how off-season tyres are kept so they do not age, deform or crack before they are used again.
What is Tyre Storage?
Store tyres cool, dry and away from sunlight and ozone sources. Tyres on wheels can be stacked or hung. Tyres without wheels are best stored upright and turned now and then. Avoid storing tyres near electric motors, which can produce ozone.
How it works
UV light, heat and ozone break down the rubber, while long-term pressure points can deform it.
Why it matters for your car
Clean tyres and wheels before storage. Mark the position each wheel came from to help tyre rotation.
