The room in which You are going to store Your summer tires must be cool enough – the temperature should not exceed +73 - +77 degrees. If the temperature is too high Your tires will get covered with microcracks what in its turn will speed up their aging. It will undoubtedly affect Your safety during next season. By the way, tires are afraid of cold too. That’s why cold garage will affect them in the same way as near-standing heater. The distance between the heater and the place of storage must not be less than 2 yards. The room for storage must also be dark and have ventilation – it means that You shouldn’t cover Your tires with canvas no matter how esthetically You are going to do that. You should also make sure that Your tires don’t have contact with oils, paints, fuel and other greasy surfaces. You should also wipe the tires dry.
If You are going to keep Your tires mounted on wheels You should hang them using the central hole of the wheel. It will also be necessary to pump them up a little bit. If You keep Your tires without wheels the technology is totally different.
You shouldn’t build a will from Your tires as the weight of upper tires will deform the beads and patterns of lower tires what will result in the decline of traction in the next season. Such tires will not only get worn faster – the wear will also be non-uniform. That’s why You should keep Your tires strictly vertical – on the floor or on a shelf and spin them every month for 90 degrees so that they can make a full circle throughout the cold season.
