How tires should be stored

In addition to the right light or climatic conditions in an adequate tire storage space, there are also a few rules for tire storage. Because it is not only necessary that the tires are not stored in damp or glaring sunlight, but also how they are stored:

1. Tires with rims: Do not place, but hang or stack. The storage area is ideally not on or on the ground, but in the balance. Perfectly suitable is a rim.
2. Tires without rims: also do not put and do not hang and - also important - turn about every 4 weeks. Here is a tire rack or tire holder on the wall.

Great that you have access to your storage unit with us almost at any time so that you can give your tires the monthly turn.

Store tires properly - that's why it's so important

Proper tire storage is so important because tires are made of rubber, a material that behaves in unintentional ways in the wrong circumstances. For example, direct sunlight promotes aging of the tires. Even high temperatures and humidity have an adverse effect on the life of the tires; they can become porous and therefore unstable. Also contact with oils, fats or gasoline should be avoided during storage.

Prepare tires for storage:

1. The latter should be removed before storage, so clean the tires properly - we recommend a mild soap suds
2. Free your tires from foreign bodies that may be in the tire thread
3. An increase of the air pressure by approx. 0.5 bar above atmospheric pressure is also beneficial for a gentle tire storage
4. To provide additional protection against light and moisture, you can also wrap your tires in specially designed tire covers and store them
5. And do not forget to mark the tires so that you can remember their original positions on the vehicle

The right tires at the right time

The regular change between winter and summer tires is essential for safe traffic participation. If caught with the wrong tires by the police, you may face fines for misdemeanors. So that you are always on the road with the right tires, you should always keep the appointments for changing tires in mind. Of course, the traditional garage is always booked out in these weeks chronically, but most drivers just come to their duty to change tires.

That's why you better avoid the garage

Has the tire been changed, do you think about storing your tires in your own garage? This is close, and the tire storage in the garage is also allowed. However, temperature conditions and possible humidity can negatively affect the durability of your tires. Besides, your tires are insured with us and stored in an alarm-protected building - in perfect external circumstances.
