With the spring season fast approaching, you might be wondering what you should do with those bulky winter tires. Living in the northeast, we deal with these conditions every year. If you’ve ever wondered how to properly store those tires when you aren’t using them, here are a few handy hints to help take out all of the guesswork.

  1. Make sure you store the tires in a cool and dry place that is well ventilated
  2. Try to keep the tires away from motors, generators, furnaces and other devices that create ozone as they can cause harm to your tires after an extended period of time
  3. Never place your tires on the ground when storing them. Place something underneath and set the tires on top
  4. Try not to store your tires on their sides as they can become distorted and will cause the tire to wear unevenly. The best way to store them is upright as if they were on your car
  5. Keep the tires away from areas where water can reach them. Water can damage a tire if left in contact with it for a period of time
