Title: storing tires
Post by: aikorob on March 26, 2022, 04:44:47 AM
Getting new wheels and tires for the truck, going to keep the old ones boxed up in the shed.
What is the best way to store then? Inflated to full pressure? Let the air out? Somewhere in between?

Inflated to normal pressure, laid flat on their sides on top of a pallet or similar platform to keep them off the ground, covered with a tarp and protected from sunlight.

I used to store with pressure, but they never seemed to maintain it any way...  so now I let the pressure out, then laid flat, covered and out of the sunlight.  Never had any distortion or side wall issues.
