Tire storage

 

Because tires are highly engineered products composed of a variety of materials, they must be protected from heat, light, moisture, ozone and deformation during storage.

The driver planning to store a vehicle for an extended period of time, should remove the tires from the vehicle, place them in plastic bags, and stack them in a cool, dark place. Because tires lose air with time, leaving them on a vehicle in contact with the ground or other surface for an extended period will result in excessive deflection, which can cause permanent flat spots.
