Tire storage
Winter and summer sets mean four tires waiting in the garage half the year. Racks, totes and bags keep them clean, dry and out of the way.
What to check before you buy
- Store tires clean and dry, away from direct sunlight and from heat sources such as a furnace.
- Mark where each tire came from (front left, rear right...) so you can rotate them next season.
- Wall racks save floor space; rolling racks move with you; bags keep dust off.
- Keep them away from electric motors such as a freezer or a furnace blower.
How to use it
- Wash the tires and let them dry completely.
- Mark each one with its position on the car.
- Check the tread now, while they are off the car: it tells you if you need new ones next season.
- Put them in bags or on a rack, in a cool, dry and dark spot.
