How Are Tyres Stored Correctly?

Where and how you store your winter and summer tyres is important to ensure that they retain their characteristics. It’s necessary to properly prepare tyres for storage and to observe the optimum storage conditions and tyre positions.

How to Prepare Tyres for Storage?

Tyres must be thoroughly inspected, washed, and completely dried before they are put into storage. If they are stored without being cleaned and dried, the rubber of the tyres will react with dirt, chemical residues, and moisture, weakening and damaging it. Particular attention should be paid to winter tyres, as unwashed salt deposits can harden and crack the rubber.

Under What Conditions Should Tyres Be Stored?

To avoid unpleasant surprises and unnecessary expenses, tyre storage should be:

• Dry and well-ventilated;
• Kept at a steady temperature between 10°C and 25°C;
• Protected from direct sunlight (no windows);
• Free from chemicals like petrol, oils, and solvents.

What Is the Recommended Position for Storing Tyres?

The correct way to store tyres depends on whether they are stored with or without rims. If tyres are stored with rims, it is recommended to hang them on hooks or stack them horizontally to avoid deformation. Tyres without rims should be stored vertically using suitable supports. In addition, tyres should be rotated every three or four weeks to reduce the risk of deformation.
