Storing Tires In Attic

Then tape the bag up to seal it.

Storing tires in attic.

Get as much air out of the bag as you can try using the hose attachment on a vacuum to suck all the excess air out. You could also consider storing your wheels and tires overhead using something like the mylifter we wrote about not too long ago but that just makes me nervous. I use a markal b paintstick to write on tires and rims. Put the tires in large plastic garbage bags and try to remove as much air as possible before sealing them with tape.

Whether you build or buy make sure you end up with a tire rack that will accommodate the size tires you need to store and that they are secure. If tires are low enough to trigger a tpms warning light then that opens the door to handling and traction consequences a loss of high speed maneuverability and braking performance less traction in wet conditions due to a sub optimal contact patch and more. Close the bag tightly with tape to create a personal space for each tire. Basements tend to be cooler with more stable temperatures.

If the tires are wet or snowy let them dry completely before bagging them in order to keep moisture out of the bags as much as possible. After cleaning place each tire in its own large airtight plastic bag lawn and leaf bags work well here for storing. A dry basement is better than outdoors or a hot garage or attic. If you are storing tires that aren t attached to a car you need to make sure they are completely dry then get them into an airtight bag.

Avoid any moisture in the bag and remove as much air as possible.
