Following these few storage precautions will enable you to keep your winter tyres in perfect condition for when you come to use them again next year:
- Before taking your wheels off, note their position on your car. This will allow you to swap your front tyres to the back next winter, to balance their wear.
- Clean your wheels and tyres with water and dry them well to limit any corrosion.
- Remove stones etc. trapped in the tyre grooves.
If your tyres are mounted on rims, store them hanging up or lying down: if they are de-mounted, store them standing up or flat.
- Store your tyres away from light, ideally in a cool, dry area and above all, do not store them near solvents (fuel, oils etc). |
