Tyre and wheel storage.

retneprac · Mar 18, 2014

Got a spare set of 5 wheels and tyres. Currently stored out side awaiting a new extention to the shed. (steel rimmed)

Whats the best way to store them?

On there side, stacked, inflated, deflated, partially inflated. Wrapped/coated?

Might be a year or more before the current set need changing.

Cheers for any advice.

On their side let as much air out as you can. Cover them from the elements. And keep em off the floor.
I'm non tyre expert but I know if you keep them inflated stored they perish..

Main thing keep them out of the sun.

wot thems said ^^^ off the floor and out of the elements, without air in.

Without the constant flexing and warming action of use though, any tire will crack and degrade. I sold a set of wheels and tyres recently for that reason, they would have been worth less or worthless if id have kept them for any length of time without use.
